Moving back to North Yorkshire has opened my eyes to new painting ideas and subjects.
Winter Trees have certainly caught my attention. In the Lakes, the fells often took the glory, but here in North Yorkshire with wide open Skies and endless vistas, the Trees are beautifully silhouetted.
Winter Trees, North Yorkshire, Mixed Media
Trying out new techniques is always exciting, I started with a piece of watercolour paper applied gesso over a painting that I wasn't pleased with.
Acrylic ink was added first using Browns, magenta and Black. Clingflm was added on top and left to dry. Next came masking fluid for the Trees. With the masking fluid dry, Acrylic paint was used to paint the sky.
Now came the exciting bits.
How to remove the masking ?
A penknife and palette knife.
Final touches with more Acrylic ink and a few Oil pastels.
I hope this inspires , your new Year
