SKOILS - sketches in oils

I'm developing some quick oils sketching techniques -  I've done a few - usually about 45 minutes long - hope you like them.   SKOILS are SKetches in OILS, painted in one go (ala prima) and completed in about 45 minutes on loose canvas - 9x12 size (because that's half of a full sheet of loose canvas).

clouds studies, starting to rain at Honls:

morning calm - plein air skoil - 9x6

late morning clearing - plein air skoil - 9x6

Nice to have a day with some sky character - usually we're stuck painting that beautiful clear blue tropical stuff.  With the skoils my palette is three warm primary colors and three cool primaries with white and black (which i haven't yet seen the need for - the black, that is).  Not a perfect touristy type day, light dusting of rain, grey to dark sky, and a sea as calm as glass.  Wonderful day with 6 others and no one expected the pastel contingent to show up.
