Medium/Support/Size I Used
10x12 canvas pad, with acrylics.
This started as a backlit, Whistlerish, blue gray concept. Then it got away from me ... must have been that I was feeling outrageously good that day. Anyway, it turned into a pastoral kind of landscape complete with four turning color trees. Sometimes, you just never know what's going to happen when you pick up a brush!
My Thoughts About This Challenge
Nice Idea. It's always useful to have some framework, some suggestion of a composition to begin a work. Some comment about the armature underlying the composition might have been useful. While it was overwhelmingly horizontal, my addition of the diagonal created by the background hills relieved the austerity of the powerful horizontal.
Tips and Tricks
- I'd probably go back and break up that green hill in the immediate background into fall colors, trying to keep it from overpowering the four along the bridge in the foreground.
