Original Creation

Before the Storm - Bill Alexander

Tom0779 21 Aug 2024

From the book β€šThe Art of Bill Alexander and Lowell Spears, Series 4β€˜.
This scene caught my attention, because of the colors used here. Bill uses a mixture of Yellow Ochre and Permanent red for the Base color of the sky and its reflections in the water and then he uses Van Dyke Brown to create the clouds. This is quite unusual but very nice.
Overall a simple scene to practice trees and the reflections in the water. But very nice and fast to do.
This is oils on Canvas Panel 16 x 24 inches (40 x 60 cm).
