Workshop Farm House with Chickens

Another farm house done on grey pressed cardboard. Oils using brush and palette knife. I am really enjoying this media and am learning to cope with the pros and cons.  One can't use the baby wipes to take off paint as one can on canvas because of the paper structure of the cardboard... but if it is still wet can be very lightly taken off with a palette knife and when dry painted over.  Not too happy with the way the chickens came out.

Workshop Landscape on Hard Pressed Cardboard

I have been experimenting with this new format which is a hard 1/8" thick grey cardboard... I use mostly oils which take on a new quality because the format absorbs much of the oil and it dries faster allowing work in several layers... I use brush and palette knife. In this image I also used wax/oil crayons.  Painted on an red ochre background.

Workshop He Walked Through the Fields III

In this previous post   He Walked Through The Fields  I was not satisfied with just the two tones so I decided to change it adding the touch of greens.  Felt the sky was too blue and added colors to the fields
