Vanceburg, KY – ancestors view plein air 16 March 2024

Greetings from the Woodlawn Cemetery in vanceburg ky! Some of the lewis county ancestors are tricksters: knocked my paint box down with the wind. I’m going to be respectful and hope they will let me get a painting!

Here’s my sketch with the composition: going to try and get the whole bend in the river with town in the foreground, mountains in the background

I have my values worked out. Time for color!

mid day isn’t the best time for dramatc colors, but I have a color harmony worked out. now it’s detail time

Still working. Can’t say my office doesnt have a nice view
