This is my entry for November's Virtual Paint Out, and just in time. This month's location is Rio de Janeiro, and though I looked around a bit, I stumbled upon this scene pretty quickly and it just clicked.
Here's the Google Maps link if you're really interested...
Just a shot of a bunch of canvases prepped with a nice orange undercoat.
Taking what I've learned from the previous revs in this series and working a bit bigger, using the palette knife again, and adding a bit more of the surrounding scenery.
Another in the series. I decided to try this as a looser, knife applied painting. It was actually really freeing and fun no being able to stress over little tiny shapes and details.
For some reason, the two paintings I did of this house and palm trees were a big hit at the show this summer, so I thought I'd do a series of them to see what else I could do with the scene. And I haven't really done a series before, so I'd like to see what that brings up as well.
