Cardrona
Valley Painting – Sketch 1
This was a very early "colour
sketch" that I did on textured paper. It
was deliberately quite rough, and I didn't feel that
either the brushwork or colours were strong enough, so abandoned it quite early.
I could have used it as an under-painting, but I had
achieved the results that I set out for, which was
to see how the colours might work. I felt that
they didn't and decided to move on. This was
perhaps the first time that I had taken this
approach of trying a quick sketch to explore
stylistic issues of colour and brushwork.
