Path to the Meadow


This painting started as a demonstration in my intermediate/advanced class. The idea was to work with the primaries - 2 yellows, 2 reds, 2 blues. I masked out the light to start and then applied the yellows onto a wet surface. The reds and yellows were spattered liberally for 3-4 layers. Blues were added into the spattering in the later stages. I was looking for the feeling of a contre jour effect or late day when the woods are quiet. The meadow is not seen, only the path which is the way or journey to the meadow.
