Happy New Year!
I am finally back to beginner painting. This was for a friend that commissioned a painting over Christmas. It was a painting of three children visiting cows on their Grandfathers cattle farm. I actually completed it in 3 days!
I will guide you through my process. The first thing I do is to paint a white canvas with a mixture of red and yellow acrylic of any hue you like with a little white gesso. I slather it on with a 2" or wider brush. The brighter the hue, the sunnier day you want to portray.
Then I 'draw' in the basic layout with darker paint and a round brush. This doesn't have to look perfect. It can be changed later. It's just to give me a basic drawing to start from. Learning to draw first with a pencil will help you to paint.
Well, that's it for the first day. See you for the next phase.
