Comment by Robin Sage on September 12, 2013 at 7:19: Plein air painting once a week sounds such a good idea Stu! We are just coming into Spring here in NZ so look forward to trying to do that this year.

Comment by Lori Ippolito on September 12, 2013 at 4:45: Looks good Stu! I like the way the light in the clouds moved the eye to the horizon..nice foreground!! I have had a chance to get started on the workshop yet!!! Have to play catch up:)

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on September 11, 2013 at 14:45: Thanks Nancy. I did glaze this but wasn't very happy with it and I'm still messing with it and will post later. I haven't started my alla prima painting yet, but I've been plein air painting at least once a week all summer, and my alla prima painting has been steadily improving, so, we'll see. Stu

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 11, 2013 at 14:21: Hi Stu,
This is really a strong painting. You did what I tried to do, but somehow didn't...use bold contrast. Well done. I tried glazing mine, but the paint is still not dry enough. maybe i used too much oil. Also, thank you for your kind comments on the ones I posted. I'm amazed at how challenging it is to paint sunsets Richard's way.

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on September 10, 2013 at 19:40: Very powerful sky Stu, love the foreground also, very interesting painting I could enjoy looking at this one without colour. Great job!

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on September 10, 2013 at 7:37: Thanks Robin. I doesnt look that great glazed, but I think that is the point of this lesson. Will post glazed version later. Stu
