Using only two colors, Sap Green and Alizaron Crimson, only one brush, a few paper towels, and a little Gamsol, this was my first attempt at a new technique I discovered from Dennis Sheehan. The canvas was not base painted but was left white.
I had so much fun doing this one because I had no idea where I was going with it nor what the scene would even turn out to be. In a way it reminds me of old Hudson River paintings.
I loved the negative painting (wiping off the paint) to achieve the lights. In person, the red color is not as vibrant, but is a more appealing brownish tone. I really like the overall warm tones achieved with just the two colors.
