Sunset No.22

2/27/12
Very overcast and slightly rainy, I set up my easel and attached an umbrella. The dreary light seemed to bring out colors I had not seen before like the burnt color along the shoreline. Kind of hard to notice in the photo but I let the sky remain as the primed panel without any paint. With overcast days I get to focus allot more on the details of the landscape like the scraggly trees on either side of the two main trees. On non overcast days I have to paint allot faster because the light changes so fast effecting the whole scene. Added a new color to my pallet "Prussian Blue"
