This is my second painting that will be entered into Plein Air Between the Bluffs. An early morning view at the Onalaska Overlook on Hwy 35. The colors are so pale when the sun starts to rise. Good thing it was seasonably warm at 7am.
I've painted with cold wax in my oils in the studio but decide I'd try it for plein air painting. It was challenging as I need to let the layers dry overnight, always hoping the next mornings weather would be the same. Luckily I had a couple mornings to complete.
I did need to bring along a table to paint since it takes more pressure to apply. I didn't realize how much pressure it put on my back leaning over to paint rather than standing upright. I'm thinking this maybe my one and only outdoor adventure with cold wax. I still love the effects and will incorporate in the studio for future paintings.
