Blue River

IIISWEEPERIII 18 Apr 2019

#4. This one had it’s up’s and down’s and almost got completely wiped down, but I stuck with it and changed some things up. Changed the hills a bit, added some stars, left out the big trees(I just don’t like them) In the right part of the painting above the tree on the right I put in a ufo, just two stars together with a dim light beam shining down to the right on the backside of the hill, had to have some fun with it! Ok the ufo was a happy little accident lol.

I'm glad you stuck with it, it's a fantastic painting. I love the deep blue and lavender colors, how they blend and reflect in the river.

MJ, me to!! I had the pallet knife in one hand and a rag with paint thinner on it in the other hand, ready to wipe it off. I then decided to just use this painting for practicing bushes and water lines and I was having fun with no pressure of messing it up. I’m glad I did. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Your story of how you were ready to wipe this down is the epitome of "we don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents." It's a really nice painting. What brush did you use to make the bushes?

lightsnow, Thank you! I kept on saying that to myself, and it worked out. I used the 1” brush straight/horizontal without the corner of the brush rounded to make the bushes!
Thank you again!!

This is so pretty! Glad you didn't wipe it clean.

Jenni,
