Oil on Stretched Canvas 16″x20″
This is another painting I did with light through the trees. They are more translucent, and sparse. It’s challenging, I had to do it a couple times before I was satisfied. It’s all about the negitive space, the holes, trying not to create patterns, and making it random. I think it would be beneficial to do more of these in the near future.
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.
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?
I only had a couple of hours to paint today but I got my sky done. 6″x8″ canvas board. I probably need to photograph this in better light tomorrow.
Thinking about summer blues skies, “Fields of the Plains” 8″x10″ Canvas Panel.
I want adapt myself to the use of the palette knife. It’s great fun! There have been other points in my life when I’ve tried it, and I wasn’t satisfied with my work, but these last few times I’ve decided I can make it work! 6×6″ Acrylic on stretched canvas.
