Light Magic: Impressionist Cottage Study 🎨

Unlock the potential of vibrant color studies in this detailed painting tutorial! I am painting charming old cottages with a focus on a powerful light effect across a scenic road. Color studies highlight the importance of painting smaller, using a 10x12" or A5 canvas, and fearlessly experimenting with color and composition to enhance your skills.

In Australia we call this architecture style Federation style based on when Australia was founded.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Yes, the veranda, in particular, is very important for our sunny climes.

[@c.s.102]

Thank you. Gorgeous luminous painting. Thank you ! You are really an architect in creating your own composition very interesting.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Thank you Malcolm, another gorgeous little gem of a painting which keeps one inspired to create. As someone else commented, you just want to walk that road. You’ve captured the atmosphere perfectly.😘

Many thanks Sheena

Thanks for this Malcolm. Love watching you paint! From Melbourne, Australia, the Victorian buildings here are so beautiful and there are a lot of them 😊

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks Tracey, yes this little Karoo town could be in Oz.

[@jerrygill4828]

Wonderful. Just thinking about oils. I may have to give them a try after watching you paint.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Go for it!

[@vesnabreskvar9082]

Thank you Malcolm! It's always very pleasant to watch how your studies are creating so skillfully and quickly ! Sometimes I like one of my small studies,but when I try a larger painting of the same scene,it turns out completely different and is never good enough. Practice,practice,practice😅

[@MalcolmDewey]

Many thanks Vesna - yes, the big ones are something else entirely 😄

[@natalykenny2069]

So beautiful, Malcolm! Thank you for sharing the colour study. It was a great lesson for artists like me that always rush into the bigger version😂❤❤❤

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks Nataly 😊

[@simonnemason2162]

Thank you. Lots of things to think about there. Especially for the new year projects.

[@MalcolmDewey]

It's a pleasure, thank you

[@drillhead4657]

What medium do you use?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Only a little spirits to draw the initial composition. I like Zest-It as its non-toxic. From there no mediums are used.

[@MalcolmDewey]

@user-kc7mu4jp4p Yes I mostly keep it loose to avoid getting into a tight painting. Occasionally I use a pencil but will go over that with a loose painted block in anyway.
