Decided to paint a little landscape scene for a change.  It seemed appropriate to paint a snow scene as we have a cold front on the way and there is a possibility of snow showers on the Darling Downs / Granite belt (which is about 132 km inland from Brisbane) over the weekend.  Think I will be pulling out my gloves and beanie for the weekend.

For something different I decided to paint a few aceo seascapes inspired from watching the waves down at Suttons Beach, Redcliffe on the weekend. Normally it is pretty flat but the wind was blowing so the sea was a lot choppier.

I felt like painting a few little landscape paintings. This is the first one I did.  Rather pleased with how it turned out.  It looks nothing like the reference photo.  I tend to use the reference photo's more for the placement of the path and the occasional tree but that's about it.

I love the light at end of the path on this one and I am really happy with how it turned out.  Another one that everything just seemed to work.

 

My 6 x 6 inch Ampersand panels arrived today all in one piece which I am rather pleased about as I only had a few Raymar Panels left.  I still think I prefer the Ampersand panels -  mainly because they are smooth so it is easier to paint detail.  Not sure were the other half of my parcel has got to as I also ordered a few 5 x 7 inch panels that were coming in a separate parcel.  Both parcels were posted together, but that one is still showing that it is in Chicago so I might have to follow up next week - at least it is the smaller package.

So for next painted this little scene. It was going to be just a watercolour painting, but I couldn't get the depth I wanted so I ended up using some Gouache paint too which then brought the whole painting together. Really pleased with how it final turned out.
