Oaks of Autumn Oil over acrylic on panel, 8x6 |
Today, I am having fun with the texture of autumn foliage. I have a favorite small brush that I have scrubbed down almost to nothing. With what is basically a liner stick with no hairs left, I have scooped up paint and applied it with a slanted stroke - not even brushing the panel with the tip in most cases. It allows me more freedom than a palette knife, due to the round shape. I had first painted this in acrylic, and painted over almost the entire surface with oils. The dried up creek is past the back of our property - and one of my favorite places to explore as a child! Painting number 284 in as many days :)
