Sketchbook Gold Linda Rupard

This is a page from my sketchbook. Using texture & acrylic paint both left over from another project. Texture was dry then I added the paint, orange, gold & brown with a card, leaving some of the white. Aspen trees were there so just added some darks & defined the trunks for a golden aspen forest.

Degrazia Chapel

This chapel is done on & old textured painting that I gessoed. First I lightly drew in chapel , then I painted it all in watercolor. Almost like painting on Yupo. From a photo I had taken at " Gallery In the Sun" site in Tuson AZ.

The Cross

This is another painting I started in Doug Walton's class. The texture is more visible with this one. The Cross is on 22 x 30 watercolor paper. Latex, acrylic & some watercolor washes were used. I found that the watercolor washes were more transparent without having to thin it as much as acrylic paint has to be thinned . I am heavy handed sometimes so watercolor was easier for me. We all did crosses & all were different.

Fun to see what each artist comes up with.
