Here is a small oil painting I did yesterday of the Howick waterfalls. We stayed over in Howick when Charles and Jan got married in January 2010. Dad and I went to see the falls and I took some pics there which I used for reference here.
Generally I’m not one who consiously thinks much about technique much when I paint, but sometimes one needs to force oneself, so I decided to try limit my pallette which was a big challenge. No blues! Here is also a few pics of the process. Of course the blank canvas is the most intimidating bit of all. I chose a small size so I could make sure to finish it in a day.
Very well done John! I do like it, love the fact the picture is such a high quality that you can see the canvas texture!
John!! I’m not surprised, you’re just SO good ….. It’s really good & of course ….. I want it!
Thanks so much for all your comments. You do inspire me to do more.
Wow, email your website link to me, and I will show my wife Howick Falls…..beautiful sight !!
This is fabulous. It’s incredible how much depth and texture you achieved.
WOW! The technique on that size with THAT medium is brilliant!!! At first glance, knowing the size, I could have sworn you used pastel crayons(sharpened)!?
NICE!
Wow John, that is great, and so quick too !! Well done, it is a lovely picture !!!!!!!!!! I particularly like the composition and the horizon line trees. The water too, has that lovely lightness of the spray and tumbling fall. I am sure you will sell this :) It’s excellent!
