Since Instagram completely cut off the sweeping views of the ranges in my last post (thanks, algorithm! 🙃) (I hope you saw the full image on my story I posted later) I have decided to share something with what I have been working on with that particular photo.
I’ve been studying art for a while years. This year I did a course with the amazing talented Sarah McDonald in her Expressive Landscape Course, at Grampians Summer Brushes - wow what a teacher and course - this course gave my confidence back.
I was nervous taking my photos to canvas - not sure why, maybe worried they wouldn’t capture what I felt when I took them. This was one of my first translation from the photograph to the physical texture on the canvas using palette knives. It was such a wonderful experience capturing this image on the canvas.
