In case I've fooled you all into thinking I'm a demure, ladylike grandmother who only dabbles in delicate watercolor (she smiles) I thought I'd throw a twist today by creating an inspiration CASE from the greatBigcanvas website.
I was lacking several things today that would have made this piece a little different. I did not have a canvas, nor oil paints. Instead, I used some Golden Fluid Acrylics which really are more transparent. I prepared my paper first with a coating of gesso, and when applying the paint tried not to use much water except for cleaning my brush in between colors.
My piece is a CASE so I'm not spot on, but I do enjoy trying to get close.
Thank you so much to all the hostesses for their volunteer work with our weekly challenges. And thank you for taking a peek today.
Very sincerely,
Throughly Modern Nana B ~

Even BETTER than the inspiration, Susie!! With those bold, bright colors, and a little bit of an abstract look, you have achieved a brilliant case of a great big canvas original! Love the big snowflakes and the rolling drifts of the first snowfall! Beautiful, Thoroughly Modern Nana B.!
