I woke up early and headed across the Hudson River to Memorial Park in Nyack. I got this one done before it got too hot out. It’s a beautiful site to paint. It was quite hazy out this morning, and you can just make out the Tappan Zee Bridge on the horizon.
The photos were taken outside, since I didn’t get to bring the painting home, so they are filled with blue reflected light. I can’t really adjust these images properly, but you can at least get an iidea of what the painting looked like! That area that appears greenish in the upper left is not really green at all, but rather the yellowish glow from the early morning haze.
Here’s a photo of the painting in progress with the scene, a little later in the morning:
I have to say that I was so impressed with the way the Golden Open Acrylics handled in the heat. They stayed wet the entire time on my palette with just an occasional spray of water. In fact, when I was done with this painting, I was able to use the remains of the paint piles on my next one.
