For this demonstration, I chose to paint a scene of the Goulburn River, Seymour. Water is one of my favourite subjects. I obtained the reference material on a warm summer evening just as the sun was going down, and the mosquitoes were coming out! I took some reference photographs, and then sat beside the river and made a few small sketches with my pastels mainly to establish what colours I would use (working very quickly before the light disappeared).
In the studio I attached a sheet of burgundy Colourfix paper (made by Art Spectrum) to my easel. I also attached a sheet of paper towel to the board beside my paper
