| Close up of "A Montana Moment" |
I am
considering entering an art competition for 'miniatures only' this week, so I
started out with a 3"x3" canvas and acrylics. I chose a photograph that I took in the Rocky
Mountains in Glacier National Park, Montana.
I did a vague sketch in pencil on the canvas itself, and then started
painting in the sky. I realized quickly
that the biggest hurdle in the exercise was going to be conquering the canvas
itself! As you can see in the
close-up, the canvas is rougher than it
looks. Trying to put tiny details on
those large threads became a major frustration.
First lesson
in miniature painting....choose your base well.
I will be trying out masonite board next for a fine and even start.
