These painting were done on location in the early morning hours during the summer of 09 and 08. Each painting is done on a watercolor block type paper, toned with a mixture of gesso and a cool pink acrylic combo. Some of the tones surfaces were mixed to be a beige tone or a blueish tone but in every case the tone was close to a middle value. Each painting was completed with a limited palette of lower saturated assymetrical primary tiad. The colors I use most often came from accomplished landscape painters like Scott Christensen and Kevin Mac Pherson. The tube colors are: Indian Red, Yellow Ochre, Indathrene Blue ( blue-violet not a blue) and Paynes Gray and titanium white and gesso. Acrylics dry quickly outside in the summer in the low country so I place my colors on a rolled up paper towel that is very damp with water and keep a spritzer bottle handy to mist the colors regularly.
Each painting was done in different locations around Savannah and South Carolina.
