These clouds were a bit more complexed formation than the clouds I tend to emulate. I needed to add fresh paint to my palette, therefore it wasn’t as thick as the last painting. I need to start opening my palette a couple hours early for the fresh Golden Open Acrylics. Strange isn’t it! Although with the smaller clouds it wasn’t such a bad idea to have thinner paint. 5×7″ canvas board.
Applied some of that thick gooey paint to finish up my painting. Incorporated the use of a palette knife. I want to do that more often. 5×7″ Canvas Board
I finished “School Under the Trees” this afternoon. 12″x16″ acrylic on stretched canvas. Will be auctioned to help raise money to build a school in South Sudan.
Detail of foreground.
Blocked out where there was too many leaves. Put in some of the background elements. Reworked the sketch in of the people. Might have to do more with all of that. Then I will work on the ground, and the picture has gallery edges.
Close up of detail
I painted the tree, the most challenging part of the painting. Painting the holes to shape the negitive space of the light coming through the trees is the final step of this part.
Here is part of the detail.
An underpainting for “School Under the Trees.” I illustrated a book about the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” used to raise enough funds to a build school in South Sudan. Construction will begin soon. 🙂
This is a painting I’m creating for their annual auction. Underpainting made with fluid acrylics, 12″x16″x1.5″ stretched canvas.
1st is the blue underainting, 2nd is the red. The flower is not finished and I will do other adjustments. However subtle, even with opaque media there is a difference.
I love color!!! Today, I’m doing an experiment with warm and cold underpaintings. The first is Cobalt Blue with gesso, and the second is Cadmium Red with a little Burnt Sienna. The grayscale photo shows they are of the same tone. I will paint the same lilly pads with flower on each. Hopefully I can post at least one of them later today.
This is the first one I started yesterday.
And this the second, I did because I noticed my paint was thinner on the first one. I decided to try it again with my palette that had the thicker paint.
Both 6″x 8″ Canvas Board
Which one do you like better and why?
Thinking about summer blues skies, “Fields of the Plains” 8″x10″ Canvas Panel.
