Bentonia in Golden Hour was inspired by our first RUF fall retreat to a lake in Bentonia, Mississippi. This painting’s substrate is one of my handmade masonite panels. I sketched it in with a red checking pencil and then started my color notes. I remembered that the main trees in the foreground were more warm than the back trees so I started the shadow note with a magenta color and the light plane was a muted yellow green. The background trees were cooler so I started with a blue purple hue then I eventually put green in the same value on top of the first notes.
