The Green Tree

From Designedly Kristi's online Bodacious Backgrounds class, I learned a number of techniques to mix and match to create wonderful backgrounds. The Green Tree piece is created by mixing Nickle Azo Yellow and Titanium White, applying it on canvas pad already primed with white gesso. After, I painted black around the edges and quickly smudged and whiped the black paint off before it dried. After, I spattered green paint a bit and applied drops of watered down green paint. I tilted the canvas pad to help droplets of paint to move around in random. I named this piece the Green Tree becauase the drops of green paint form the branches and trunk of a tree.
