I am not very happy with this painting as the style is a bit too much like my regular pieces. It doesn't have that vignette quality that I see in the Oriental style. My analysis of the landscapes in my copy books suggests that only a few elements of a scene are painted and they are not usually connected.
I have a few other photos that I will work from in the next few days but this piece will be going in the NFS file!

I am very much liking the blending of the styles, Val, and it is very evocative of our wonderful valley.
ReplyDeleteThanks Win. I think I will try the same scene in the blacks and grays that my books have - maybe I will be able to match the style better. I am sure that once I have finished my 'studies' a little bit of the Oriental style will creep into my paintings which won't be a bad thing. Have a good weekend!
DeleteIt may not be correct according to what you are trying to learn, but it is a very pleasing scene. Makes me think of summers spent camping.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila, I am lucky to live in such surroundings - we have it all, mountains, lakes, wildlife area and art!
