plein air painting the licking river near blue licks state park – 10-9-2020

I thought I’d take a short drive south to a view of the licking river from a bridge.

I made a underpainting, studying the values of the scene

plein air underpainting of the Licking River by Kentucky Artist, Ken Swinson

I was so concentrated on the painting, i forgot to take photos of any other steps. This was a challenge, because it was an overcast day, so the light was diffused.

the finished painting!!!
