The Marsh from the Bridge

Marsh from the BridgeI am heading across the bridge this morning to go to Beaufort to have brunch with a friend.  I took photo a few days ago when I rode across on the bicycle.  I love driving the back roads to see different things so of course, I will have camera in hand.  This view is certainly one I will be painting soon.

Marsh Painting at Hilton Head

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , on June 23, 2009| 3 Comments »

Marsh Paintiing KellyAnother great day of painting on location at Hilton Head.  I discovered a really nice town park right on the marsh and set up there to paint about 8:15 a.m.  Boy, did it get hot fast this morning.  Not a lot of breeze blowing and within an hour I was burning up.  But I kept painting and got a nice little 9″x12″ oil painting completed.   I took photos at different stages so you could see how I work. 

I always take a reference photo in case I need to complete the painting in the studio…or in case I want to post it on the blog.  🙂Marsh Park Ref Photo

To start the painting I thin a dark color, ultramarine blue in this case, with turpentine and sketch the major shapes on the canvas.Marsh Painting 1

 After the basic shapes are sketched I start laying in the sky color and the darkest parts of the trees.

I continue to work the colors in the trees and the reflections in the water.  I also add the background trees at the distance and start on the marsh reeds and the water.

Finally I complete the water and add the foreground reeds and grass.

I enjoy working on location even when it’s burning hot.  (Did I mention that it was really hot out there today???)  People often stop by to ask questions or just to watch and it’s always interesting to meet them.    And as usual, my paintings are available by emailing me for more information.  The paintings I did at Hilton Head this week are both oil on canvas panel, measuring 9″x12″, and are available framed for $225.  Contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .
