Night at Brazen II

sold

Nocturne painting is so rewarding, and so different from the daylight.  I have only started to paint these scenes from a lighter panel, not the dark toned ones I've used for years. There are real benefits to this.  I work by the street lights, and a lighter panel allows me to read color and temperature more effectively in low light situations.  I also find my colors more true.  I can't wait to explore this further, maybe some snowy winter night scenes?  Painting number 2525 in 2525 days. 

Night at Brazen

SOLD

Oh how I love painting at night!  It is so fun to try to capture the magic of special places at night, where all I am painting is the light. All these years, I have started with a dark surface before beginning a nocturne.  Last week, I didn't have time to prepare one, so started with a light surface.  I loved it.  In fact, I doubt I'll go back to the dark side anytime soon!  I can see all of my colors better on a light surface.  Can't wait to do it again!  Painting number 2473 in 2473 days.
