River Current (Oil Bar Painting Day 2) Originally uploaded by randubnick
Two days ago, I went to the studio and worked on this painting that I had roughed in the day before. This is based on a photo I had taken up in Manchester, New Hampshire, a close-up view of the Merrimac River. I used the photograph as a reference while I painting, paying attention to the shape and placement of the shapes I see in the water. I decided to focus on identifying the darkest and lightest shapes because the patterns of light and shadow will communicate the movement of the river current.
