Re: What's On Your Easel, October 2011
Good Morning.
Great Start Paul and Happy Birthday.
Here is the start of my project... Portrait #5-6 & 7 (I'm counting the dog too)
Will start the flesh tones as soon as my new paints arrive.... Don't you just love new colours?
Happy Painting.
Joy

Can't Wait to play... I mean.. do a colour study with them! 
Happy Painting.

Re: What's On Your Easel, October 2011
Hot day in London today so was able to return to Wimbledon Common and have another plein air attempt at a scene I painted last week. I didn't tone the canvas, which I thought may have been a problem, but think I've got away with it. Part of this exercise was to try and capture the values better; having looked at a grey-scale of this I feel I've got closer. Have to keep on trying to move up that learning curve! This is 11 x 14 on gesso'ed board.
Comments and criticism very welcome, thanks for looking.

Re: What's On Your Easel, October 2011
Nice work Graham, you definately succeeded with the values here and have a nice variety of greens. I like this a lot. It really has been hot one today, and more to come tomorrow, its not often plein airers need sunscreen in October in the UK!

Graham, so glad you are keeping up with your plein air. I like how you are catching the light with this one.

Re: What's On Your Easel, October 2011
Graham - Love the Greens. Makes you want to pack a Picnic Lunch....
How hot is hot in London? Today high is 86 F or 30 C - This is a nice temperature in California where I live.
Happy Painting.
Joy
