Studio Musings...

The second slim tonal study. 

 They have been fun to paint with a large brush.

I began with a white gessoed ground which gave the light effect.

Burnt sienna and Winsor Lemon make a good mix for this.

The large brush prevents a tight painting and pushing 

the oils around in a scrubbing motion creates the abstracted shapes.

A few swift flourishes to finish depicts the light and sparkle on the surface.

It is important not to be heavy handed.

 This would make a stripe rather than broken paint.
