Cabin @ Dusk

I worked on a painting today of a cabin at dusk.  It has been a while since I did a bare tree & I was glad to get to work on that skill again...with the script liner brush. 

On this painting, I first painted the house and the ground with black acrylic gesso, then, taped over that with masking tape.  Next, I painted the sky and the background trees.  Then, I removed the masking tape and did a bit on the house with a rake brush.  After that, all that was left was the foreground.  I painted this from a Wilson Bickford packet.  The packets are so very helpful to learn by.  I prefer DVDs, but, the packets are growing on me.  I needed something to give me the edge to "get going" and this packet did that.  Maybe now I can paint more when I have time near the end of the week.    Painting is GREAT !
