I decided to paint the Baylands scene today. It is a very refreshing and exciting feeling, afterward I still love painting the plein air. It's been a while since I last visited Baylands, but I still have a vivid memory of what that beautiful place is.
I studied this simple but elegant setup. The idea is to paint the white porcelin jar as the focal point, and the big dark vase as the support. The challenge is to paint the right values of everything together, including the beautiful yellow fabric wrapped around them.
