Summer Companians, oil on hardboard, 8x10"
I've been working my way through a barn series, and this one was very satisfying to paint. I struggled at first because I had purchased a different brand of hardboards, and they were a lot "slipperier" then the Ampersand variety I'm acclimated to. I decided to slow down, and actually work on it in shifts. I normally start with a ground layer, but this didn't work either due to how slippery the surface was. I decided to build up the paint instead, letting it set, rather than dry, and to use less medium. It seemed to work, and I was even able to get a bit animated with it. I love the specks of bright red that ended up standing out among the green.
