This is the second serious try at following along with this vid. This time with a more limited pallet and a half sheet instead of a full. .... And once again I failed to do what she did.
The thing that strikes me about her process is that she says she "develops" a painting. It isn't planned. She isn't sure what it's going to be. It starts with controlled chaos and then gets constructed into something. I love the process. Reminds me of poured ink paintings where randomness starts it.
I have thirty colors in my pallet! This time I taped over all but seven for this one. The earth colors were omitted. This gave me at least a chance of some color unity and discipline.
My mind has been on Fire Island, a barrier beach off Long Island that in the wild sections is beautiful in an understated way. And this scene sort of echoes a small wash-over occasional inlet in the island. It used to be big enough for boats to get through from bay to ocean but shifting sands open and close it. Thus the name "Old Inlet". But I didn't really plan this.
Thanks for looking. I'm pretty happy with this one. C&C welcome.
