Days #15 .. #18

 More experimenting with winter scenes. These are plein airs and photo reference paintings.

Day #18 "River"


Experimenting different colors for a winter scene.



17x20 cm, oil on wood

Day #17 "A scene to the sea in Helsinki"


Small rocky islands in the sea. Some of them have small buildings on them. I don't know what is their purpose, maybe they are summer cottages.


20x15 cm, oil on gessoed paper


Day #16 "Thick Snow - Plein Air"


 An other snow plein air in the garden. Just branches that are hanging over the fence. My fingers got quite frozen after this 2 hour plein air although the weather in general was pleasant and quite warm.

Day #15 "Trees"


Painted from a photo reference. This painting might need more color. I used mostly just white and blues. I could add some snow on the black distant trees on the left hand side. I did add snow to the right hand side but forgot the left ones without in a hurry. I think this would be an ok painting to keep if I could get more looseness with brush strokes somehow. (Maybe color will do it?)
