"South Wind" --- Sold


It is pretty cold these a couple of days. So I did this one trying to bring some south wind to warm you up. This is not plein air. It is from a photo I took at Rock Port, TX in spring. I loaded the photo on my laptop and put it on my still life stand. Maybe we can call it computer plein air.
You know I was having problems earlier of painting darks on top of lighter colors, and many of you provided me tips. Through few studies I find a way I like, and practised on this one. I thin the sky color with turp and paint it on first, it dries pretty fast. Then I paint darks on top. It works well for me. So thank you for your help.
BTW, the murder whom the police was searching for last weekend killed himself. His body was found two days after my last plein air day.

Hi Qiang-Huang! I visit your blog almost daily! I of course like everyone, just love your work. I have used my computer with a small easel nearby to work on some landscapes also and it works pretty well.

This is wonderful, Qiang - so much energy! (was the hurricane blowing in?) I like your approach to painting the background. Thanks

Gosh I'm glad to realise that artists like you also use photos. Another fantastic painting - you certainly live dangerously in your plein air world.

Wonderful energy here, conveyed through your confident brushwork. I too paint plein air, but in my studio I paint from digital images projected from my Mac to a TV. Works great.
