Exaggerating colour to achieve luminosity
I consider myself a tonalist painter , but have been exaggerating colour
in order to convey the effect of bright sunlight.
This painting was done completely from life and from my colour
sketch posted a few weeks back.It measures 28 x 20 inches.

back door study
Recently , I have been painting directly from life a great deal.
I enjoy it far more than from photographs . It is much easier to
see subtle colours and tones with your own eyes.
I have completed this sketch , I say sketch , as it was completed in two
separate days about an hour each. The light changes so quickly so I had to do
it like that.
I have had this painting in mind for 2 years, it is our back door to the garden.
The painting is about 12 x 9 inches.
