NEW ACRYLICS

For the pst few weeks I have been exploring a somewhat new approach to my landscapes, creating texture and mood with repeated applications and removal (by blotting with paper towels, freezer paper, and/or washing with water) of thin washes of color. In some areas full application of paint is also employed. This approach was used exclusively in the skies of the 3 paintings shown here. The foregrounds were a combination of this technique and more traditional painting with brush and pallete knife. The architecture was all rendered traditionally with brush.
