Autumn Pastorale 1

Artist's Gallery
Setting the Scene
I loved painting with acrylics, and, soon enough, plunged into a big project! These two 18” by 24” canvases will be painted side by side with (hopefully) a picturesque farm scene. So here’s the base coat. This layer not only establishes the hue range and shadow areas of the grass and pond, but also sort of seals the canvas so future paint goes on smoothly and brightly. I applied most of the paint with a fine sponge.

Looks like the start of good things to come.

You have to have faith to start a painting like that.

Must use a lot of paint:-).

Yes, it is a lot of paint, but I was using the poster paint you buy in bottles from Walmart, so it was pretty economical!:)
