Oil on 5x7 hardboard.This is for the WDE at Wet Canvas. Mary was the gracious host.
I was attracted to the elements within this composition.
I first coated the board with black gesso. I started off by indicating the elements subtly and keeping them thin and dark. This served to act as a foundation. The paints were applied thicker and with more color in the next step. Finally, I laid in selected leaves, flowers, and parts of the wheel really thickly for the most impact.
Thanks for taking a look!

ReplyDeleteHi Dean, It's been a while since I left a comment. 2011 has been a busy one, so far. I really like what you did with this. Working from dark to light added some great depth to the composition. Great job!
