This is an Oil painting Timelapse I made.
It is from a small river that runs through Perth Ontario Canada. We were there the 1st week of January and I took several photos and videos of our walks with Lola, our Golden Retriever Puppy.
Step 1: I start by painting the entire canvas with a burnt Siena ... then quickly block in a few shapes of the rock outcrops in the snow ...
Step 2: I add more snow, rocks and trees on the Horizon line.
Step 3: I add the reflections in the water in the foreground
Step 4: I add the sky and more details.
It is really Interesting to take photos of the steps since I can go back myself and see if there are places I could have stopped painting. Sometimes if I work too long on a painting I muddy the colours. I need to paint quickly as a practice for when I am out painting in the kayak or in the Forest where the flies are really bad.
Let me know what you think of my painting in the comments below. I spend a lot of time looking for music to add to my video and might change that up too.
Here Is a very short video from our day in Perth.... just to give you an idea of what the river is like there in winter. It is a very pretty town here in Eastern Ontario.
