This is a challenge within a challenge. PMP is a site that offers royalty free photographs to paint from. Each month they have a challenge from a selection of their photos. This months challenge was Mountains. The catch is that the painting has to be in a 4.25:1 ratio, so the winning photo can be used as a masthead.
Oh my, will I never learn! This was quite a challenge and I didn't do myself any favours painting so small. Not sure if this is a keeper. I will sit and stare at it for a while.
About this painting
I have a pad of cotton primed canvas sheets from Belle Arti in Italy. They are the perfect support for trying out different things. They are inexpensive, so if doesn't work out, not a lot of money is lost. If it is a keeper, shipping is inexpensive, and they can be mounted onto panel as an alternative.
I've not mounted these on panel yet, but I shall have a try this afternoon and report back on how it went.
So fresh and it has a panoramic look...cool painting!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that PMP challenge and got stuck by the size which led to getting material. But you succeeded. So of course, 3x12 works well! Next, I love how you painted it. The color is rich, the mountain fades a bit...I think you could win!
