Great Salt Lake Waterscape




This little painting captures the dance between the ripples in the shallow water of Great Salt Lake and the shapes the water's movement makes in the sediment just below the surface.

I used this piece to explore the Flemish method, which involves several steps: imprimatura (toning the canvas), a drawing, an underpainting, a monochromatic "dead" layer (allowing for adjustment of values before adding color), a first transparent color layer, a second transparent color layer (adding vibrancy), and a finishing layer (adding final details).


Sold.
