I don’t remember what caused it, but I got an urge to use my palette knife on this painting.
I thought it could be a cool way to try to depict some arctic mountains, all covered in ice and snow.
So I did a wash, let it dry for a while, and started “scraping” at the paper.
As I got really eager trying to make out the different shapes, I probably overdid it.
As you can see, it made the paint and paper crumple up a bit, leaving dirty, dark stains.
But I still think it ended up pretty cool!
And I am going to try again, real soon.
I hope you like it, and that you’re having a good day!
Actually, it gives the whole painting a 3D feel. It’s unique!
Thank you, Cendrine! That’s very cool to hear 😊
Love the colours and the mountains reminds me of the Pass of Caradhras in lotr. Quite inhospitable. I can almost hear the wind.. brr.. 😊
As a LOTR-fan that is about the coolest comment I’ve ever gotten. I didn’t have it mind while painting, but now I’ll pretend that’s exactly what I did 😀
