Garden Dream - Work In Progress


The garden now has water! I am starting to picture myself laying by this beautiful pool and throwing breadcrumbs to the duck.

I like this a lot. What did you outline your objects with on the previous steps? It looks like Sharpie?

Hi,

I am glad you like the painting. The basic shapes are done with acrylic paint, very thin so that they will be easy to paint over. They look darker in the photo than they do on the canvas. I usually mix Golden Fluid Anthraquinone Blue with Burnt Sienna to make a dark gray. For more detailed paintings I mix in white to flush out the different values of the painting. Thanks again for visiting my blog.
