This is a 16″ x 20″ version of the same Swamp River scene (see below), with just the acrylic underwash done. I really pushed the bright colors in this one, but will tone it all down with the pastel layers once I resurface the board. Since getting laid off from my day job in February (!!!!) I’ve been able to throw myself into working on my painting skills – including speed, which I need to do in order to improve my plein air work – and have also experimented more with surfaces, underpainting techniques, etc. So there’s the silver lining to being unemployed!
