Day 16 Autumn Leaf

Since Autumn has begun here (not that is feels like it yet), I decided to paint an autumn leaf - I love the colours of Autumn.

Autumn Day in acrylic

I have fun painting this one.  I basically just used the reference photo for the placement of the trees and sky as the reference photo was taken in spring so decided to change it to an autumn scene instead.  I mixed Heavy Gel into the paint to give the leaves more texture.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

Autumm Day measures 8 x 8 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth paper.

 Many thanks to Ro Lovelock for the reference photo.

The painting is available for purchase through Etsy.  To view the listing, please click here.

Autumn River No 4 in acrylics

I have been experimenting a bit with how I paint landscapes by starting off by roughly blocking in the scene  with the Atelier Free Flow Acrylics and then building the detail layer on top with the Atelier Interactive Acrylics.  It works rather well so going to paint a few more using that method..

It doesn't feel much like autumn at the moment as it is still rather hot here in Brisbane.  So the next best thing was to paint an Autumn scene instead.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

Autumn River 2 in acrylics

I nearly gave up on this one.  I started it and didn't like how it was going so decided to wipe it and paint something else instead.  But after wiping it, the basic elements of the painting were still visible and I still liked the composition so decided to give it another go.  Glad that I started again as I am really pleased with how it turned out.
