Media: Acrylic and Newsprint on Canvas
Size: 16" x 20"
Artist's Collection -
This was my first formal painting in a while. Over the last few years I have completed a pretty intricate Beer Pong table and constructed a custom trellis, but have not painted on canvas probably since High School. My inspiration for the tree came from typical section graphics used by Landscape Architects. I decided to do the background as a simple gradient. As it turns out, Acrylic is not very conducive to this. Damn paint dries out quickly! Through trial and error I found that a misting of water helped extend the time I had to work with. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the result. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to recreate such a smooth gradient since. Go figure.
