Week #20 of 52 Oil Paintings: Poudre River

Week #20 of 52 Oil Paintings by Nicole Slater

Poudre River 

This was a blast to paint! I think because the image had a contemporary feel to start with.. like a picture of a contemporary painting.

I Immediately got out my Pallet Knife and went to town!

 I started mixing all these beautiful bold colors, scooped the paint up on the knife and built up bold blocks of color...then I started putting in the cracks and crevices by using the edge of the knife. I manipulated the paint from side to side, up and down, color on top of color and then got out the brush to lightly bush on areas to give them another texture, a softer texture and blending. 

This was a fun experience with the Pallet Knife....I had a BLAST!
