In the first sketch I still had a little bit of light left in the landscape where you could just make out colors. My concern though was capturing the values of the scene the best I could.
For the second sketch I went around to a different part of the park that would give me a view of some water and the moons reflection.
As you can see in the picture I had my Mighty Bright light clamped on to my easel giving me enough light to see with.
Now I have some reference material to use for studio paintings that I have confidence in. I had taken photos too but they were useless, they just don't capture what the eyes really see.

I love how you go out there and paint in the dark, surely the best way to capture what you want ....and you did ! Both great !
You really got the values in these, especially the one on the left. Very atmospheric work. Good job!!
I love seeing this set up Pat. It obviously works beautifully! I love the glow you've painted here-Congrats!
Man that looks like a great, great time. That top photo could be on the cover of Fly Fisher Magazine.
