About the Painting:
Name: Bertie and Ernie
Medium: Watercolor and Gouache on Arches 140lb. paper
Size: Approx. 5×7″
I visited a farm a few weeks ago to do some plein aire painting. There were several goats there, but these two goats were always next to each other.
My Process: I used frisket on this painting to keep the whites pure and so I would have freedom in putting in the surrounding areas. So, after the frisket dried, I poured the background colors, lifting off the fence and adding darks next to the goats for impact. I then removed the frisket and began with very light shadow colors on the rear goat, gradually becoming darker to complete him. I move to the front goat and just painted the face until I was satisfied, moved to its shadow areas and completing fine touches to both of their faces. The finished with the front grasses.
Paint colors used were: Thalo Blue, Winsor Green, Winsor Violet, Cobalt, New Gamboge, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Perm. Rose, and Perm Green.
Price: $40.00, including shipping within the United States. Email me to purchase or for International Shipping rates!
