Sheldon, Vermont - Demonstration

Here's one I started at lunch today, and finished up this afternoon. I was asked if I'd show how I go about doing one of these small knife paintings, so I made a few pictures during the painting process. Please pardon the glare on the right side of most.

Below you'll see my 5" x 7" canvas board toned a nice bright red.


Next, you'll see my initial sketch done with raw umber and a palette knife.


Here I've painted in the sky.


In the next one, below, you'll see not much has changed other than adding a few hints of background foliage.


The silo has made it's appearance.



The buildings have now been painted.


Next is adding some color to the tree and ground. Pretty simple really.
