Pulgas Water Temple




Here is the plein air painting I did of the Pulgas Water Temple in Woodside. What a beautiful place! The sky was blue, not too hot, reflections were perfect. I didn't even know it was there. Just off Canada road one driveway past Filoli. I spent about 1.5 hours on this on site and another hour or so working on my values at home. I also used the Kleen Edge tape to get some of the whites back in my columns.

Hi Kaaren..since I saw it before you "pushed"
your values...I like it more. I'll have to ask you about that tape :)

Hi Kaaren...it may be just the computer color...but
you might "dull" the green under the pavillion ..dull it with
an orange(that you might have already used?)...it will push the blue water and make the
building go back..value is fine (I think)..its a middle of the day painting, right? still too green on my screen
