Winter Hilliers Garden oil painting WIP

| WIP Hillier Gardens at winter oil painting |
This picture shows three stages of a recent painting done that depicts a lake during a bright and sunny winters day. The location is Hilliers gardens, near to Romsey, in the county of Hampshire. The lake is probably the centerpiece of the gardens and provides a wonderful view any time of the year and has been painted by myself a number of times.
In the first panel can be seen the line drawing done in brown acrylic paint on a red acrylic ground or wash. The second panel shows dark colours and tones applied using acrylic paint to show the relative positions of colours and helps to assess the overall balance of the painting. The colours are kept dark as they act as a 'underpainting' level for the next level, as shown in the last panel which shows the finished painting. Here the final, tonally correct colours are applied, in this case in oils as I find that this 'natural' subject suits the medium of oils well. The finished painting can be seen in detail here.
