Oil on 5x7 hardboard.
This is for the WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean supplied the reference photo.
This is in answer to the super color challenge put forth on WDE this week. It's something I've had my in mind for quite a long time. To add extreme color, including color "surprises", to a subject to energize and "excite" the painting.
I really enjoyed the process.
The hardboard first received a coat of black gesso. Love that black gesso...I call it "black magic" the way it makes colors "pop" from the very first strokes.
I used a palette knife and brush for the textured paint.
Thanks for stopping by!
