Jane Painting on the shore of Derwentwater

Winter Tree, North Stainley

Winter Tree, North Stainley

Painted in Acrylic 

Size 14 x 12.5 inches

 I had lots of fun painting this gorgeous Tree. 

It started on a beautiful Sunny Winters day, a circular walk from West Tanfield, across the fields and down the River Ure towards North Stainley. The trees at the moment are great to paint and this one certainly caught my eye.

After a little research I found out it was a Horse Chestnut, with lovely graceful branches and delicate markings in the bark.

The painting is on Board and started with Acrylic Inks , a little masking was used and then the tree started to take shape. Acrylic paint was used in the background for the distance the Hambleton hills and the pretty village of North Stainley.

New Year , new ideas

 

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
