In this weekly series Kelly Kane, Editor-in-Chief of Plein Air Magazine, shares a favorite painting and artist quote from the current issue.
Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: California Gold
“As the light source, skies generally are supposed to be the lightest element in landscape painting. I disregard that rule often, however, especially when I’m painting around midday. With the sun up high between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., it can wash out a lot of things in the landscape. To balance this, I push the color of my sky, as in ‘California Gold.’ The deeper and darker I can make it and have it still work, the richer the painting becomes.”
~ Terri Ford, “Deeper, Darker, Richer”
