Painting fast is a mind set. This is a 15"x11" oil painting using damar and 3% to 5% wax. This painting is painted on the inside cover of my brush and palette box.
I like to start with a full palette, 25 colors, because... no matter what color I leave out, that's the color I'm going to need. That's just the way it happens.
I won't use all the colors this time, but I'll be painting another painting right after this with the same palette. With a hard pencel I drew in the major shapes and biggest tree lines. That took less then 5 minutes.
I smeared in all the background colors with a rag or brush, another couple of minutes. Thin down these colors with medium, not just turpentine. That way you can use those colors as final paint.
What colors were used in this painting?
Thalo Green
Thalo Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Dioxine Purple
Red Oxide
Magenta
Yellow Green
White
The darkest darks were made by mixing Magenta with Thalo Green.
The painting took a little more then two hours.
