Painting in Orange Hills

The heat has gone and the fall seems to be here all at once.  Today the clouds were pretty outstanding all day.  I had spent most of the day working on a large oil.  They said it was going to rain; but I knew it wasn't going to.  I wanted to paint the clouds so I was going to have to be fast anyway.



This was a quick one.  I nailed  the clouds with a mid tone and then followed with the lights and then finally the darks.  I then went after the dark shapes of the trees and worked to the lights and finally the highlights. 
This pastel painting measures 24"X26".  It is painted on masonite with pumice gel and acrylic paint.
