Today I will show you the development of my latest painting ‘Tree Trunks in Red’.
As you can see, I have started with black and white underpainting in acrylics. That is because most of the picture is actually slightly desaturated so for the trunks to stand out I needed to simulate that.
Second layer of underpainting is done in colour. It was difficult here to balance the level of detail with a good level of blur and blending. At the end I added one more layer for the tree trunks to look proper orange – red.
And in the last photo you can see also my cute little assistant!
Visit also my Gallery to see the rest. Soon enough it will also be available at my Etsy store.
