My latest painting 'Moonlight Crow' was inspired by the numerous crows that can be seen around our home.
I usually begin any new painting by starting with a canvas that I've textured in some way. The base of this particular canvas was covered with tissue paper.
Next I sketched out a rough image and then proceeded to add texture and several layers of paint. Below is the finished painting.
Don't forget I'm having an Art Sale this week. Stop by my shop announcement for more details.
Have a great weekend.
This is sooooo beautiful. Is that crow photograph one you captured? I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. It is so wonderful to see your process as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita. I figured it might be nice to try and feature more of the process rather than just the finished item, it's remembering to take pictures at the different stages.
ReplyDeleteEffy, yes the photo of the crow is one I took.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying for ages but the crows seem skittish around here and I've never been able to get a good shot. The other morning one was making quite the racket out on our deck so I grabbed the camera and managed to get some shots.
