This was started with a brush and finished with a palette knife. I will leave this a few days to see if it needs more work. I am thinking about increasing the size of the reddish tree and adding more reflections and I still have to decide if it needs more light or if that will spoil the feeling of solitude. What do you think?
Marion its lovely. I have never been to the Lake District but working my way up England :) i dont understand palette knife painting Ive tried it. I guess it takes practice
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely area - only problem is it rains A LOT! but then again it wouldn't be so green if it didn't LOL
DeleteI paint mostly with a palette knife now and automatically pick up the knife instead of the brush. I find I can get a much more lively and loose feel with a knife.
I discovered your work doing the 30 in 30 together. Nice to meet you! Your work is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Thank you - it's a great challenge isn't it? and a good way to notice other artist's work.
