autumn

Preparing for fall exhibition at Pynelogs Art Gallery and Cultural Centre in Invermere, British Columbia this is a work in progress on a Autumn landscape painting.  The first 2 paintings are a quick study on a 9" x 11" canvas.  Expressing my love of Autumn and it's rich colours I am now working on a 2' x 3' Gallery Wrapped Canvas.   Loosely sketching out my drawing the first layers of colours are mostly complimentary colours.  For the background I used organic sponges to layer in the colours.   To create the leaves in the foreground i tried several different brushes as well as a palette knife.  Dabbing the paint on with a No. 2 Robert Simmons brush gave the results i was looking for!    ....... more update to come!
