Media: Oil Sketch on Centurion Oil Primed Linen Panel with additional coat of Williamsburg Lead Primer
Size: 5x7 in
Sold
After leaving Bandon I traveled up the coast to Heceta Head lighthouse, and that same afternoon, I painted this sketch. I spent the night in one of my favorite forest clearings, in a stand of old growth forest, not far from here. This is the classic Oregon lighthouse, and I have painted it several times now, both in Watercolour and in Oil, but this is the first time I've painted it in such weather ... and lit; I rather like the moodiness of the scene. Apologies for the brevity of this entry, but I still have much to do. Imprimatura: Venetian Red, with the block-in with Ultramarine. The rest of the pigments were Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre & Italian Burnt Sienna (from Rublev), Ultramarine, Cobalt & Cerulean Blues, Venetian Red and Cremnitz White (all by W&N).
