Workshop Landscape on Hard Pressed Cardboard


I have been experimenting with this new format which is a hard 1/8" thick grey cardboard... I use mostly oils which take on a new quality because the format absorbs much of the oil and it dries faster allowing work in several layers... I use brush and palette knife. In this image I also used wax/oil crayons.  Painted on an red ochre background.

Workshop He Walked Through the Fields III


In this previous post   He Walked Through The Fields  I was not satisfied with just the two tones so I decided to change it adding the touch of greens.  Felt the sky was too blue and added colors to the fields

 Original

Reworked

Oil on stretched canvas 50 x 70 cm. A fragmented approach to the landscape near the spa Hamei Yoav.
