WCW265, Water is The Mirror
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: annsforte3

 Stacy gave us a wonderful tutorial on doing background texture.

I do not do journals for my paintings so I did slim line cards in landscape.

Added texture by doing layers of rocks and plants and with some dry brush strokes.

TFL!

Ooh that is a cool idea, the slimline look for a landscape. and Cards or framed are it doesn't really matter what people are doing with the ideas, its more the "doing" I love how tranquil your landscape is here Ann & the quotes are perfect for the scene.

The layered textures in your painting are so beautifully done—the way you built up the rocks, plants, and water with dry brushwork gives the scene such depth and serenity. I love the choice to present it as a slimline card; it suits the sweeping landscape perfectly and feels like a tranquil moment captured in time.

Great card! What a beautiful seaside scene. I love the way you did the light in the sky and its reflection on the water. Wonderful quotes, too.
