Techniques Landscape - SOLD

Techniques Landscape Oil on Canvas Board, 16" x 20" SOLD at $65.00 plus $15.00 shipping. Detail Below This one is big, another reclaimed canvas (used to be sunflowers.) I was mainly interested in playing again with the palette knife technique to see if I could combine broken color painting, with splots and dots, with the palette knife work. I haven't yet figured out how to put color onto a canvas with a knife, but once it's there, I'm getting more of a feel for how to mush it around. The detail shows a bit of the combination of blending with the knife, and dotting with the brush. It's a fun way to paint, but really not exact. I don't think I'd attempt much but a landscape yet.
