Artist's Comments

Above the not-very-fruited plains; but rather, more of a river.

An acrylic painting I've been working on for a while now; I actually do a surprising amount of acrylic work, I just like never post them. But, yeah, my last one got a great response, so I guess I'll post them more often.

The main thing I was trying to capture here was a good sense of light; and I think it turned out really well. I think, with my digital stuff, I just need to be more patient.

So, hope ya like it.

Acrylic on Canvas, probably around 12 hours of work, with minor color adjustments in photoshop, nothing huge.

Lovely colors.
With a very home-y feel to it.
Overall, I like this a lot.

jaybus, that's pretty. :o I love the snow on the trees, and you how managed to get really soft and really rough textures.

Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?".

D'aww, thank ye. >w<

Glad you like the rough and soft textures; the clouds were like sooooo rough when I first started, I had to pretty much paint entirely over them. I guess that's what I get for using a fan brush for clouds, lol.

I actually find fan brushes most useful for getting smooth textures. :o That and using a bunch of layer, heh.

I like fan brushes for choppy stuff like trees and grass; and flat brushes for smooth and broken-up-texture. I actually did the puffy clouds by painting the colors on the canvas, very wetly, and then blending with my finger.

Aaah, I should really start some acrylic/other painting projects... I spent a whole shitload of money on oil painting supplies for a class but I only produced two decent paintings from it, and every time I get dragged on one of my friends 'Let's go to <insert art supply store here>' trips, I end up buying a canvas or two DX... But I never know what to paint! Maybe I should just print out a random landscape and have at it... Any suggestions?

(PS: Beautiful painting here, particularly the sky and mountains. Your brush strokes make it look like pastel or coloured pencils, but it's lovely.)
