About the Images
This piece is a study of morning clouds over the Organ Mountains in New Mexico. The Organ Mountains are just east of Las Cruces, but this view is from the area near Chaparral, looking north.
I began with acrylic paint pointillisn applied with a brush and I will cover that with acrylic ink pointillism, applied with a dip pen. The reason for this process instead of all ink is that for the larger pieces it reduces the amount of time it takes to finish a piece. The pattern in the underpaint also adds another layer of visual texture to the result which works well with the larger pieces.
This work is 18"x24", acrylic paint and acrylic ink on canvas.
