My small painting series of lessons continues. This week the underlying lesson focused on colour mixing; using a simple landscape as the basis for the lesson.

These canvases are only 30cm x 30cm. So quite small really.

The landscape is a very basic colour blocked image. I could probably go back in and work on the painting a little but to give it more complexity. But, then again, there is something about the super-simpleness of the painting we had to do that is appealing. Maybe I like a simple painting in a complex world?

Having 50 of these paintings might prove chaotic but for the moment I am enjoying the lessons. The weather is beautiful and standing outside enjoying the moment is part of the appeal.

Bring on lesson 4 …
