echo park color
After teaching today I went back out to Echo Park with my underpainting and gave it a layer of color. It was interesting weather today, half sunny half cloudy, kinda hazy. Lots of 'atmospheric perspective'. There was a gnat hatch at some point and they really seemed attracted to the painting getting stuck all over it, but I'm just going to let it get good and dry and then dust them off. I plan to take it back to the location once more, but it's all right so far. Here's the painting and also here's a re-composite in photoshop of the painting in progress with the original sketch. If I wanted to be more loyal to the drawing, this is an easy way to re-site the composition. oil on canvas, 24 by 48
