100807-Sketch-of-Barns-GF-450

I went out painting with my friend Karen on Friday, and decided to do some sketches rather than a focused effort on a single painting. This was my first sketch of the day — beautiful barns up on the hillside that we’d been admiring on our painting outings for quite some time. This one was done with Golden Fluid Acrylics in my 10×10″ Kraft paper sketchbook.

One Response to “Sketching Barns”

I love your painting of the three red barns. It reminds me of a scene in New Ipswich, New Hampshire just south of where my son lives. The barns there are used for storage and one is a gun shop. They are a stunning revelation when rounding a sharp corner heading down to a clearing with small ice pond. I’ve painted them before, but must say that my painting pales compared with the lucious colors and definetive brush strokes your technique affords. I very much enjoy your work on daily painters and wanted to tell you.

Something to say?
