Yesterday
when pulling out some paintings for varnish, I realized I had never
varnished or posted this one painted a couple of years ago in a
Johannes Vloothuis on-line workshop! Before the classes with Jo,
I was never confident with plein air or even studio landscape
painting. I
continue to take his paint along classes offered by North Light whenever time permits. If you go to the website, you will see my
sincere testimonial. His book LANDSCAPE PAINTING ESSENTIALS is also
available from North Light.
Well,
back to this painting. We summer in the beautiful Blue Ridge
Mountains of Western NC where cool cascading waterfalls seem to
appear around every turn, so how could I resist this challenge
to “paint along” using the provided reference photo. As a slow
painter It was a real effort trying to keep up and complete this
piece in just over four hours of instruction! The recording is in my
video file and may take another look at it. However, I am pleased with this painting and
am framing it for our wall as there are falls near us offering the
same late day glow. Thank you, Jo!
