This weeks small painting and time-lapse (for my Patreon members) is all about the small panorama. As you know, I love to paint in miniature!  I utilize my time wisely, get a painting under my belt, and get to practice on scraps of paper before committing to something larger.  Painting small requires me to eliminate unnecessary details, forces mark-making to be impressionistic and fresh, and helps me conquer fear of the blank page.  I could go on and on!

This painting was an impulsive and spontaneous work inspired by the beautiful lowlands of South Carolina.  I’m lucky to have family in that area and have visited these waterways and woods, lakes, and streams.  It is so different from my native West Texas!

I began by loosely sketching in the main lines of the work.  I knew I wanted a stream of water with a high horizon line and trees.  I also was thinking of shadows and light and how each element in the piece could be affected. After my loose sketch, the pastel layers and alcohol wash began!  It came together very quickly (again, small pieces are wonderful!) and then I had time to take my oldest to the DMV. haha

If you’d like to see the time-lapse (and explanation with voice-over), please visit my new Patreon page!  I’d love for you to join in the conversation of my burgeoning community. I post more details of these pieces as well as reference photos and materials information.

Check back soon for more posts and quick tidbits!
