Waterfall and Woods

16" x 20" oil on canvas
SOLD!
Here is a waterfall in the deep, dark forest. Done on a canvas first covered with black acrylic gesso. After that dried, I applied a medium made of part turpentine/part stand oil. Then comes the fun with the color. The black really helps "pop" the color.Posted by Picasa

The colours certainly do pop from the black background. I will be back to check out your future posts. :D

Hi Susan,

Thank you for checking in again. Yes, these black background canvases really have a nice way of making the colors shine.

Visit anytime. New stuff coming soon.
