Victoria Falls

18" x 18" Oil on canvas



Process

This was such a stupendous site, listening to the rushing water and figuring out a composition quickly. I may need to go back into this to get the color back in the earlier layout above.

Fun to see this! Looks like a marvelous place too.

Very nice movement in the water. You've captured the energy!

I love your step by step demo on this one. I like your blog too. Would you like to do a link exchange? I’m a fellow artist trying to build my ranking by getting more reciprocal links.

A few weeks ago I did a plein air painting along a little stream here in Oregon. The scene was almost identical--I mean rock by rock! However, my painting was terrible and a wipeoff. Yours is lovely.

Thanks so much Alberto, Diana, Nancy, Austin and Don. It definitely is interesting figuring out composition when surrounded by so much moving water and rocks!

Great job. I like these falls paintings. I've got to do some bigger plein airs. It's good to see all the new paintings.

Candy Barr said...

Thanks for visiting Frank. I know, I am so exhilarated when I paint water, don't know why I don't do more myself!

Just beautiful color, brushwork and values, one of my favorite's.
