Golden Marsh palette knife painting in oils by Marion Hedger

A study following Lois Griffel's method of painting. I have previously used Susan Sarback's process with pastels of blocking in with warm colours for light and cool colours for the darks, then layering the paint in 4 steps. This is the first palette knife oil painting using Lois's method which is a very similar process and way of thinking. I took her example photo and flipped it and changed some of the marsh detail. I like the sense of distance achieved and the light shining through. I shall try a few more of these but larger I think as working small is quite difficult.
