Snowbank in Reflected Light
I painted a gouache study of a snowbank catching reflected light off the side of the house.
I posted it on my Facebook and Instagram channels. (Link to video on Facebook). People had good questions, so here they are in the form of a Q and A.
How do you choose the color for an underpainting?
I chose the underpainting color because it’s the average color of snow in shadow on a sunny day (unless the shadow is varied by reflected light, as happens here).
How long did this actually take?
The painting took about 45 minutes. The light was changing fast, so I had to work quickly.
How did you shoot the time lapse?
Both the live video and the time lapse are shot with a a Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera. The time lapse is set for 1 second intervals, so it compresses a minute into a second. The nice thing about that camera is that it has a built in intervalometer, so all you have to do is press record and it compiles the shot into an MP4 file for you.
How do your keep your hands warm? Don't your hands start to stiffen at some point?
It wasn't too cold--Just about 36 degrees or so, a little above freezing, and I wasn't out there too long.
A little above freezing? What is your "uniform" for this weather?
I had long underwear, both top and bottom, wool socks, and an insulated canvas vest over my "Department of Art" uniform shirt, plus a knitted hat. I was wishing for my Filson insulated hat with earflaps and a brim. The brim helps when painting contre-jour.
How did you learn landscape painting?
I alternate between studying work of the past and trying out ideas in front of nature. A lot of my methods are unconventional and non-traditional. When I study the art of the past, I'm at least as interested in their thought process and their philosophy as in their practical techniques and materials.
