POINT LOMA SUNSET- STEP 1


Today I begin a 16" x 20" oil painting of a Point Loma sunset. This is the location of the lighthouse that I just completed and the view from Shelter Island where I spend my weekends. It starts with cadmium yellow medium, cadmium red medium, violet, raw umber and white. It's a very narrow palette and will remain so but it gives a dramatic effect.
