some paintings are sitting on a table
I’m working on this commission at the moment of a location near Mt Somers in the region of Canterbury, New Zealand. As with all of my studio paintings I planned it first in my sketchbook to design the composition, then I painted a colour study. As you can see I am referring to the colour study as I paint this larger version of it. Still more do to before this painting is finished. 🔸 Are you struggling with your painting? 🖼️ Do your paintings look flat! My FREE landscape painting tutori...

an artist's easel sitting on the side of a road with a painting in it
Today’s plein air painting. I wanted to paint some deciduous trees before they loose their leaves. It’s autumn here in New Zealand and even though we don’t get much autumn colour here in Northland there are still some beautiful deciduous trees to paint. I was driving around my local area and saw this view in Pakaraka which I thought would make a great composition. I painted this artwork on an 8” x 10” linen panel. 🔸 Are you struggling with your painting? 🖼️ Do your paintings look flat!...
