Landscape Painting- Winter's Last Light..


















8"x 10" oil


...and here, I used what I learned
painting on location (post previous),
to apply to a lifeless otherwise quite

split-complementary strategy...

this shows my block in with the reference
photo I took here in NE Wisconsin...on a
typical gloomy winter's gray day-
























Here my split-complementary palette...using
orange as my dominant, and blue-green &
reddish-violet as my splits..









and now here...a couple closeups-









































here is a short video lesson explaining the
split-complementary palette...enjoy!
