Saturday Morning Sketch #5 - DEATH VALLEY

I know, I know...my original plan was to paint one of these a week. Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans......

Anyway, way back when I was co-supervising the Background Painting Dept. on The Prince of Egypt with Ron Lukas, we brought the entire department on a sketching trip to Death Valley. Three days of painting in the desert. For some reason I can't seem to find any of my paintings from that trip. Hmm...

We also shot lots of photo reference. This sketch is based on one of my photos.

    Beautiful Paul. For a moment it felt like I was watching something by Monet or Van Gogh. Loved the brush strokes. The dabs are really exciting.

    Beautiful. Lighting, colour palette and loose brush strokes. This is exactly the sort of thing that keeps me returning to this blog time and again. Thanks Paul!
