Late Summer Creek
Oil on panel, 12x9 |
A few days ago, I finally found enough time to prime about 40 new birch panels in various sizes. I mixed up gesso, an acrylic paint to tint and fine pumice, applying with a large putty knife before smoothing with a brush. I used a little less ground in this time, and the textures are smoother on most of the boards. I'm not sure if I like this change or not. A couple of these boards show the wood grain through all the layers, like canvas shows a tooth. The underwash is a little different, too. I just keep experimenting with various color combinations - just to mix things up a bit. This is painting number 250 in 250 days, and
Day 10 of the 30 day painting challenge :)
Thanks for your comment. I like this painting very much and it was interesting to hear about your priming process. Wow! Painting #250 in 250 days--and I'm feeling proud of myself for 10 in 12 days with Leslie! I am getting hooked and this may become a habit. Good work!
