Something new on the board. 10x20. Canvas, which isn't my preferred substrate, but, I told my self I had to use the supplies that were in my studio before I buy more. I am intrigued by trees, forests and the light in and around them. I'm focusing on the composition which is defined by the trees and their shadows. I'll post when I'm done. The goal is this week. I don't prime the canvas with a colour anymore. I saw it being done so I primed a few canvas's. I now used clear gesso on wood panel. The colour of the wood is a warm base on which build. I took the picture at a golf course by my house this past summer. I take my own reference photos now, I used to paint from the web but I find it cramps the creativity using someone else's vision.
