The first two painting effects I did was using water-based Gesso. First I created what looks like tree and shrub foliage. Then I added a grey Gesso to the stream, let that dry and then added stones, and clouds. I get so involved in painting that I forget to take pictures of my evolving work. In the last picture of the finished painting. I didn't not like how the clouds looked, so I painting over them and added the sky color. I also added some, what I hoped looked like flowering trees and a few birds flying.
What a wonderful talent you have. I love that you allowed us to watch your painting evolve with you. Thank you for sharing.
Ginny, donna, eileen---thank you so much. I find painting a real stress reliever. Although, when things are not flowing off the brush I simply quit, and start over the next day.
I actually thought "wow!" at the last image Tooty. Step by steps are always appreciated, I love them. Would be nice to take a canoe ride down there. And wait... they sell Bob Ross-branded easels?
