"THE FOREST"
18 feet by 7 feet canvas. A youngster from P4 kindly stood in this photo
for scale.
If you wish to print out this photo you will probably have to
set your printer to 'landscape'.
The bulk of the foliage in this scene I did with a broken sponge dipped in two (and sometimes three) different colours and then dabbed onto the canvas.
I then added several layers of these multi-colours - working from the background forward. There's about four layers in this detail pictured here to the right.
That ends this series
