I surfaced a large sheet of cardboard with Colourfix gesso in a rusty colour. This is the view of the Goulburn River from the Trawool Bridge, between Seymour and Yea, Victoria.

I am a pastel artist living in country Victoria, Australia. My subjects vary, ranging from landscapes, portraiture, animal studies, figurative, life drawing, still life and I find the challenge of painting water particularly enjoyable. I take commissions, and if you require any additional information please contact me via my Bubblesite

Only the Sunday

So that rusty color in the river is really now the color of the prepared paper showing through? Oh now I have just so much to learn.
Thanks for the comment. Yes – there is a bit of paper showing through Randy!!! I also put some acrylic in a pale green underneath those distant hills.

Once again your beautiful work proves to be completely spellbinding Lynda, I love the way you have captured the softness of the background hills, this is a wonderful painting :-) Cardboard???
What a lovely comment Constance. Maybe cardboard is not the right description. It is a sheet of mount board that I bought in the art shop and it was a pale blue colour which I didn’t like, so I painted it with the Colourfix gesso surfacing stuff. I also slapped some pale green acrylic around underneath the distant hills.
