French Village Oil Painting Step 1 by Chris Hobel
I decided to use a blue/orange palette for this complex maze of buildings perched on a rocky hill
Admittedly I did get lost and had to make a few architectural changes so as not to defy gravity.
On such a small canvas it would have been wiser to pick a more closeup view
Gum turps and flat bristle brushes were used with a limited palette of Archival Oils,
Ultramarine Blue,Cad Red, Yellow,Orange , Crimson,Fast drying White make a range of warm and cool greys and warm highlights coming mainly from the top left.
