Climbing mountains
I'm sharing with a the progress of a painting I'm currently working on. The subject of the painting that I'm focusing on at this stage is a mountain. To the left of the image the mountain is green, but on the right it sharply cuts away to black and red.
The initial stages of creating this work involved masking off areas of the canvas, then applying layers of acrylic paint and gloss medium.
Messy mark making
Paint was applied to the canvas using a brush, palette knife and smearing. Acrylic paint was rubbed in along the raised edges of the dried acrylic gloss medium to create areas of textured colour.
A work in progress
When the initial layers of paint have dried it will be time to uncover the masked off areas and add more definition and details.
