This painting is from a photograph I took at sunrise looking towards Marblehead. There was great light with violets, reds, oranges and yellows. The reflection off the water and clouds was phenomenal.
Color palette included alizarin crimson, burnt umber, rose madder, cobalt violet, manganese violet, orange lake, cad red light, cad yellow light, titanium white and transparent white.
I’ll post a few stages but since it was done in two days theres not many changes. Then I’ll post the reference photo. The painting does not even come close to the beauty in the photo.
