40 "Keanae Outrigger" 11x15 Acrylic Painting
When
your painting massive foliage, simplify. As an example, when drawing
a palm frond, four or five strokes will represent the direction of forty or
fifty palm leaves. With these strokes in place painting in the palm
leaves is only a matter of dusting off the drawing chalk and filling in
the spaces. I paint the background sky in first, of course.
This painting also shows how reflections of a vertical come toward you,
they're not a continuing vertical.
