This is an experiment in
perspective in a landscape painting. The rolling clouds and fenceline
disappear into a far off vanishing point, which creates a larger sense
of infinite space. The barn is rendered in two-point perspective,
which also helps create greater volume and space.
The painting is 26.5 inches wide
by 12.5 inches high on 1/2-thick medium density fiber board prepared
with two coats of gesso between sandings for an ultra-smooth surface. I
used acryllic paints from the tube. I began with a wash of burnt
sienna and gradually built up layers of blue-green, yellow ochre and
red. I used white for tinting purposes.
