Spring and Autumn Fields - Two Works in Progress

Today we had the third of four workshops with Emil Varga at KAGS today.

We worked on two different pieces, the first was an autumn scene where we wet the paper and then dropped new gamboge, aureoline and permanent rose onto the paper and rolled it around, letting the colours mix together.

A pale wash of cobalt blue was washed into the top of the paper leaving some areas of white showing for the sky. Then the painting was set aside to dry.

The second was a spring scene where we wet the paper and then, Antwerp blue, aureoline and new gamboge were dropped onto the paper and rolled around, letting the colours mix together.

Cobalt blue was washed into the top area of the paper for sky and was then set aside to dry.














Summer Field

Using a sponge and various mixtures of aureoline and permanent rose on the first painting definition was added to the trees.

I will post these paintings at a later date once more work has been completed on them.
