This time the painting faeries smiled, despite the weather (cold and windy). I painted over a 15 x 30" canvas that I hated, climbed on the observation tower, pulled out a cardboard viewfinder to help me come up with a better composition and used a ruler to keep my lines straight. The dried-up grounds where the paths are were done with matte medium and Treasure Island and the foggy sky were done with with retardant.

Hey I have this same view in a photo I took. Great job! Looking forward to seeing y'all on Oct 10 (that's right? the date on the sidebar says the 12th).
ReplyDeleteOoops! Thanks, I made the mistake while writing in a hurry. Rebeca
ReplyDeleteNice space in this. I like the delicacy of some of the details in the foreground too. Thanks for pointing to it.
