It took me a while to do this latest one in my tree series. The two canvases measure 24x20 inches, and 24x36 inches.
Various kinds of art paper were used, including corrugated paper, lace
paper, watercolor paper, and Egyptian papyrus. The sides are painted
red - I like red.
The underpainting was red, with a layer of gold gesso over it. This gives the painting a warm glow and soft sheen in places. The most fun part to do, for me, was the freehand branches which were mostly negatively painted.
