No drawing, very wet paper, colours poured on, and totally painted in the negative manner, with many layers….lately I’m on a negative painting joy ride as it’s such a challenge…most of the winter and trees paintings, are done that way… I love any painting challenge….I’m really pleased you like it…thanks so much Linda..
