Chile Southern Parks are the location for Virtual Paintout for May 2014, so I did a second landscape off the X-24 Highway near Aysén, Chile.  The Google Street link is to X-24, Cisnes, Aysén, Chile.

Washington D.C. was the location for Virtual Paintout for February, but I didn't finish the piece in time to submit.  The Google Street link is to a street location in Washington D.C..  I'm drawn to the contrasts in locations, bright and dark, rough and smooth, light and shadows.

Welcome to an Art Blog Carnival on painting demonstrations!

December Demonstration: Venice Cityscape with Acrylics

I used Google Street Views to identify a location in Venice (Calle Cavalli Castello, Venice, Veneto, Italy) .
The combination of water reflecting sunlight and the perspective lines of the walls and windows caught my eye.  The video is a compilation of video and still images for the piece that is not yet finished, as of December 10.

I use acrylics to push me to work faster and experiment with color, blending, and glazing.
