Two Sketches

A couple of recent sketches from downtown Salt Lake City,  Courthouse.  It was a beautiful sunny day that ultimately submitted to grey sky's and white snow.  Winter is just around the corner.

Hi Justin,

These look great!...what blues do you use? or make? You get great colour in your work!

It's great to see some landscapes. I love the suggestive brushwork- very beautifully done pieces.

beautiful work!!

Justin Clayton said...

Thanks!

Ed, I always have cobalt blue and ultramarine blue on my palette. On sunny days like this I add cerulean blue to the palette.

dear Justin, i am becoming quite a fan of your work, especially your landscapes. they remind me of where i grew up in Austria. your brushstrokes are so courageously free, but holding the piece together beautifully.

This is so cool. Do you use a palette knife?

I like the way you've managed to capture the linearity of the clock tower even as it seems to dissolve into the sky.

And the fountain, I love the way you've "focused" onto the statue - almost photographic.

Thanks London... Nope no palette knife on this one. The paint is actually applied pretty thinly.

Very nice! I love the tower painting, especially the combination of blue-sky and brown-tower colours. it looks so natural. I like it a lot!
