Earth Day was yesterday, but I forgot to post a natural landscape that celebrates the environment. So I’m doing it today instead. Update: Earth Day is today! My bad.
Landscape painting of Mission Trails Park in San Diego, California. A natural area with stunning mountain views, grassy meadows and native oaks, and the river flowing through it. I love to paint here.
I began this piece en plein air, but I had forgotten my toned grounds (left them on the table at home) so I was working on spare canvases that I keep in the back of my truck. Working alla prima from white means I’ll need an additional session in the studio to finish the painting, and that’s what I did with this landscape.
