"Indian Hills Morning"
What a beautiful day yesterday! Wonderful cool weather, partly cloudy, and the birds singing to me! I haven't been able to do very many paint-outs, so I was excited to get back out there. It was well worth the drive over! The Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast met at Indian Hills Recreational Area, in Fort Pierce, Florida.
This painting turned out great, but it was actually a failed attempt at a new technique! I wanted to use a brush to create a dark underpainting and then add the thick knife work over the top in bright colors. I ended up painting over the underpainting entirely, so I will have to try that idea again. I am usually a little stingy with the amount of paint I add, so I was also working on applying generous amounts of color. I got carried away with all the thick textures. I did like the way the underpainting gave me a guide as I slapped more blobs of paint onto the support!
Here is the painting in progress. The palms were off to the right of my easel. I added some more highlights and the egret when I got home.
