About this artwork
I was walking through the local woods here in Central Bulgaria, basically in the middle of nowhere, and it was rather a gloomy day. It had been raining and everything was wet. The trees were in that end of autumn state when a strong wind would have removed the last of the leaves. For now they were hanging on, but the shapes of the trees were coming through strongly, especially as they were darker being wet. I snapped away with my iphone . I think…
the low light must have had an effect on the sensor, as when I looked at the pictures later, all the colours seemed to have become intensified. Perfect reference for a painting such as this.
. I paint the canvas black to begin with and then leave those bits unpainted at the end. It gives the edges a crispness and makes painting small twigs much easier.
