  • Virginia McGowan replied

    I’ve never been to either of those States so you’ll have to rely on your memory ! :) Do you take photographs of things so that you can paint that way too, or just from the minds eye ?

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    gee I only just noticed your question James….[ doing a bit of editing on my files]. anyway…... A…..I mostly make a sketchy sketch, write things with arrows e.g.really blue sky, long grass,sun position …. In this case though I took a photo it was 1968 and way before I started to paint .I only had a box brownie.I got the pic blown up when I got home.I really dislike using just photos as they never give enough detail and the shadows are always just that,dark blobs,even if I don’t want detail I like to see the full spectrum .and also what is going on around .
