Now I switch to alkyd paint, bringing subtle color and cloud forms into the winter sky. I usually paint from light to dark and from distance to foreground, as I am in this instance. Next I paint the most distant hills with soft tones tinted with blue to accentuate a feeling of distance. As I move forward I add more local color and detail to the hills creating a depth to the picture. The nearest hills have a strong suggestion of trees and snowy spaces between them. The background now has a sense of reality that I like.
The Art of Richard De Wolfe is intended to show how I make my art, things that interest me creatively, and what I am working on at the moment. If what you find here interests you, please 'bookmark me', come back often and visit my Gallery, too!
