Plein Air in Lost Dutchman


My palette for this painting: Titanium white, cadmium yellow medium, yellow ochre, cadmium red light, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, cerulean blue hue (Utrecht)

Here is another 8x10 painting from a week or so ago at Lost Dutchman. I was testing out a composition format with some strong diagonals. The smaller chunks of rock help break those up. I'd like to revisit this area at different times of day, to see what kinds of shadow patterns appear.
