Snowy Coastal Inlet
13 April, 2007 Filed in: Landscapes
Last weekend while in Vancouver, I painted a quick landscape painting:
I wanted it to look like an imaginary nighttime coastal scene with snow falling across the inlet. It's painted in mostly a mixture of Payne's Grey and white, but the thing I did differently was to add a layer of clear gloss medium at the end to simulate different water patterns.
I used a thick mixture over the rough areas of the water and made bumps in it with my angle shader brush. Where the water was calmer, I used a thin coat of the same gloss medium, but in smooth linear strokes. This effect was not visible face on, (and it's not easy to see in the photo) but it looks neat on the wall where the painting catches the light.
