Woodgrove Meadows. 8x6, oil on linen panel. 2015
The sky was cloudy and a storm was starting to develop at our first day of painting at Woodgrove Meadows last year. I tried to convey a sense of the turbulence and heaviness of the sky in this small sketch.
The sky was painted with some restraint at first, using a very thin layer of paint in the lighter areas. Once the clouds were established I applied the paint very liberally, working the edges with a large brush and palette knife.
