The urge hit last night to put paint to canvas.
I am loving this large scale,
traditional acrylic painting process this morning!
Big, long handle brushes.
Using the big easel.
Standing on a step stool.
Mixing paint right on the canvas.
Stepping back to look.
I paint dark to light. I start with the absolute darkest colors I have and layer lighter and lighter for up to 4 or 5 colors. I think I have been painting for about 12 hours today. Loved every minute! I did have to share my work table.......
This is Burlap. he jumps up onto the little sofa, then onto the back of it and up onto my table every time I start working. I decided to just put a little bed up there for him. He was totally content to be there all day!
I love it!! How long did it take to do?

I absolutely love it! A friend has an old truck on his farm that looks like this-I think-I don't know anything about the make and model of trucks! LOL. Anyway his is mint green! His wife was wanting me to paint it. I may try after seeing yours, since it is so cute. I do love to do a large canvas every once in a while-though for the last year I have done everything on 8x10 for some reason.I have three dogs too-two doxies and a jack russell mix.I have to put up the doggie gate when I am painting-they are always sneaking around finding something to chew up!
ReplyDeleteReally like this and your progress pics are wonderful!! Does your paint dry between the layers? Your work is awesome <3
