| Summer Shade © 8" x 8" Mixed Media |
Another memory from my stay at the Tuscan watermill ... a welcome patch of dappled shade in the heat of summer.
I painted it primarily in acrylic (with small amounts of oil pastel) on hot pressed watercolour board. First I painted an underwash in watercolour to establish composition and values etc and then coated the board with a layer of acrylic matt medium. The smooth surface was gorgeous to paint on and I'll definitely be using it again.

Claire, thanks for stopping by and for your comment - I appreciate it. Oil pastels are wonderful for creating texture but not so good for detailed work. I often use them mixed media with acrylics so I can play with the properties of each :)
Beautiful work.
So poetic!
Thanks Peter, I appreciate your comment very much ... the beauty of nature in all its moods is why I am driven to paint it :)
