Deer Nouveau

 

This painting is 9.25" by 15", fluid acrylics on cold press watercolor paper.  It is the 14th painting I have completed this year as well as the last of the year.  Happy New Year everyone!

Deer and Jones Bridge Park Paintings

 

Jones Bridge Park painting is done on illustration board - 16" by 20".  The deer painting is on a much larger canvas - 24" by 30".  I used fluid acrylics for both.

Pumpkins and Wolf Landscape

 

Both of these paintings are 24" by 30", fluid acrylics on canvas.  The wolf painting took me a little longer to complete because of the dark background.  Dark backgrounds require more paint and typically increase the amount of time required to finish a painting.

Large Hawk Painting

 

This is my first time painting on canvas.  It is 24" by 30" and I used fluid acrylics.  Fluid acrylics went on the canvas easier than I expected - very easy to do gradient washes.  It was a much more forgiving surface than primed illustration board.  I also managed to scan this painting and the colors turned out well.  I had to scan it in eight separate sections and then stitch them all together.  Overall I am pleased with how it turned out and I plan on doing at least two more paintings on canvas this year.

New Paintings!!!

 Its been a very busy school year so I have neglected my blog for a while.  I have created some oil paintings and I have also done some plein air painting.  The painting of the river started off as a plein air painting but it quickly became a studio painting since I finished it at home.  Both the blue jays and horror self-portrait are painted in oils on primed illustration board.
