Stanford Educational Farm

A short distance away from the Tree House Studio is Stanford University. Several paintings will be done with views around campus.

I started with a very rough sketch of Burnt sienna thinned onto the canvas to get the basic layout of the painting before putting in the colors. Sometimes, I will reduce the amount of Burnt sienna on the canvas and wipe down the marks so that when the paint goes over the top, the background Burn sienna doesn’t bleed into a bright wight or other lighter color.
