This is a 5 x7 inch thickly painted study from an old photo of Green Lake I took. Never thought it was good enough for a larger work but am doing some small studies as recommended in a nice new landscape painting book I just finished reading. I want to prepare for painting outdoors now that spring is here so need to simulate the process inside so I have the quick pace needed for painting outdoors in the changing light and also have my palette knife technique down pat. The smaller the work though, the more I need to touch it up with a small brush at the end for details. Whatever works is the goal versus locking oneself into a single technique.
