Santa Barbara Sunset Sketch Jan 11, 2010



Quick sketch time. Light changes in 20 minutes, so one has to work briskly, and making quick decisions. To quote Dan McCaw, you must paint, "like your house is burning down!" It's considered 'alla prima', until it's 'touched' or 'glazed', in the studio. One hopes it will be 'alive' and not need to be, 'revived'. Alas, art itself can be a strange, unpredictable thing.
