Odgen Dunes-late afternoon Step 2 11x14 oil

  In this step the early underpainting of values with the magenta is followed by thin color. The lake is now blue, the sky a light yellow/gold, the sandy beach tan and the dune grass green. This serves as a coloring of the canvas with color-certainly not final colors, tones and values, but affords an opportunity to assess where the process is. Since the paint is still thin, lightly applied it is easy to change and adjust.
