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.

Snake Acrylics

 

I finished this painting yesterday.  I designed it so that it can be cropped to a square for an album cover.  It is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on coldpress watercolor paper.  I had to adjust the colors in the final scan, paynes gray always seems to scan way too saturated.

Moth Painting

 

I finished another painting today.  My Mother shot the reference photo, it is a moth that landed in her garden.  This one is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on cold press watercolor paper.

New Paintings!

 Hey all!  Summer camp is over so I had time to paint!  I haven't uploaded work here in a while so here are three new paintings.  Three of them are sketch book paintings, the tiger is painting on a sheet of 12 by 16 coldpress watercolor paper.  The sketch book paintings are all 9 by 12.  All of them are painted with golden fluid acrylics.
