Landscape study 10 After Shishkin - Small Oak Trees
Decided to do a few landscape studies. This work is by Shishkin. Did not spend a tun of time refining this as I just wanted to get the big shapes in and then work from there. There does not seem to be a lot of images of this online and the few that are there vary in hues. This was copied from an image on a website Elsewhere . This has a great collection of paintings of landscapes at good resolution and believable colours. The original is in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. Someday.

Oils workshop - still life pt 6
Still Life Final |
Worked on the final piece for the last two days of the workshop. It was interesting to try some new approaches and push the image as far as possible. It was the first time I used black on the palette. I used the smallest brushes I think I have ever used. Used the most number of paints on a palette ever. Lots of stuff I had taken on board as hard and fast rules to work by are not.
I think everyone learned a lot and pushed their work to the next level with Matts guidance.
Hope there is another workshop next year.
