I generally put them up on my easel whenever I feel a need to take a break from the seascapes, etc. For this piece I’ve used a palette of Van Dyke Brown, Naples Yellow, Paynes Gray, Davy’s Gray and Zinc White. There’s still alot of highlighting and shading to be done but it’s taking shape.

Islandikane
(50cm x 75cm, Oil on canvas)
I was attracted to this scene by the strong and dramatic backlighting which created a striking view. I worked on the highlights of the water and cliffs today. I’m going to leave this one for a few days to dry before making a few minor adjustments. Almost finished…
