Hello Everyone
Two weeks ago I went back to Dinton Pastures, which is a short drive from where I live. There have been a lot of developments to the park over the last few years such as a new play area for children has been built, and art exhibitions now take place in the fields behind the park. These latest developments have contributed to the increased traffic to the park and it was challenging finding a free parking space. I managed to park in the last free space, i reckon it is was artist's luck.
This time I am creating a combination of quintessentially English garden scenes and pretty landscapes. I gained my inspiration from a physcological thriller I was reading. In a particular chapter an English garden was described and the book also described the main character sketching and someone she knew painted beach scenes. All of this descriptive narrative was too much for my imagination and I added a book mark to the page I was currently reading and drove to Dinton Pastures to snap several different types of scenes and objects to create my own English Gardens and landscapes. So far I have drawn out 5 different scenes and the half finished one attached is of my first English garden. I am pleased with it so far, it is becoming a beautiful and tranquil garden that you will be able to relax to. The colours I am using are cadmium yellow, titanium white, cobalt blue, cadmium red, ultramarine blue. I mixed my own different shades of green which i will use on the entire painting over using more shades of green which will unbalance the finished painting. Follow me on pinterest my user name is caravaggio2 to receive pic updates of the progression of this scene and the other scenes I am creating. There are pics of the other scenes for you to look at now, head on over.
Thank you for reading until the end, until next time
