the Mist
New egg tempera paintings by American Artist
Linda Paul - Size 36" x 18" (on 3/4" board)
This one of a kind painting arrives ready to
hang on your wall, It is painted on a
board that is 36 x 18 x 3/4". The 3/4" sides are
painted pale yellow ocher color. It does not need a frame,
however you can frame it later if you wish
This painting was created entirely
with natural earth ochres that I collect
directly from the ancient ochre mines in Italy
and France. I use a beautiful natural golds and
greens that come from Italy. It does not get
more Italian than that! read

This quintessential Tuscany landscape is found
outside Pienza, Italy. Pienza is the most
beautiful little Tuscan town, famous for it
pungent cheese. Its one of my favorite places
and I hope to return there someday.

Here is how this painting was created
It was August and hot in
Colorado, I was wishing that I was somewhere
cool and misty. Tuscany in the late fall would
be nice!
Sketch
I have started the painting! I am blocking in
the color using green and gold natural earth ochres. I decided to make the Italian villa a
little smaller that I had in my original sketch.
Painting is a process that changes constantly. I
have painted the under color of the fields in
waves, which will give the finished painting a
feeling of movement.
At this stage I am starting to develop the color
and add the feature elements such as the Italian
Villa and little church
Here I am adding the cypress trees and laying in
the mists. Egg tempera is wonderful for creating
mist because of its translucent nature. The fact
that it dries instantly allows me to layer the
