I am going to work backwards today. My first tip is never miss a chance to photograph clouds or landscapes that you like. You can use them. These clouds were last night.
I am going to talk about Waiting by the Gate. I want to show you what I had and how it came together. This is the tractor that I used. So I had to work around his decorations and find a better background.
When I went through my landscapes this is what caught my eye. I liked the layers of depth and the barn in the back.
When I put it together I moved the picture over so it looked like this was beside the gate. I put some background with it but I used the reference pictures above to paint from. Also I worked with what I knew the light would do. One picture was taken on a bright day about noon and the other was a afternoon about six. SO I had to make the lighting look right on it all.
When it is all said and done here was the finished product. Waiting by the gate is $ 180 , Watercolor Sealed on Aquabord at 18 X 14 inches. Contact me if your interested.
