I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Quiet Cove
Quiet Cove...a 9 x 12 oil demo from this morning. I started with a palette knife and blocked in values and then went back with a brush to create detail
Hi. Aline, Love the colors and mood of this painting. I have an interest in working mainly with the palette knife. And glad you had explained how you get started. Do you work all your landscapes paintings with a palette knife?
Thank you Marlene. No, I don't start them all that way. Large paintings I do usually start with a palette knife, but small ones like these I don't. But I wanted my students to see how I could get values, color fields and texture with a palette knife which made it much easier when I then went into detail with a brush. This was especially effective on the mass of dark trees.
