Condo Style
10x8 Oil on Panel
This is the final version of the painting I started during
last week’s workshop. I tried to maintain the randomness of the brush strokes
and place more emphasis on the beach chairs, while working again at my home studio. The bright green color selected
the chairs seemed to fit, as either red or blue did not deliver the punch I was
searching for. There are still some things I could change about it, but then it would not resemble what I learned in class.
I enjoy the speed of completing paintings in a day, using this
alla prima method. It is easier to forego the details, yet still capture the
excitement of an image. But I’ll have to admit, I kind of miss the rigidity in
straight lines and definition seen in the buildings, as compared to my usual technique. Therefore, I will
consider this painting a study, as I look forward to the next version, which
will be larger in size and much different in painting style.
