The sun

I got my camera working and I've tried so many ways and places to capture this work and I just couldn't do it right, arrrrg! The photo was a big challenge since it has a gloss finish, so in the garden I finally got a decent photo although it's nothing like it is in real life, such a shame when you can't make a photo that captures the work!

I made the background texture with plaster and palletknifes, the sun is with the eggshell technique with a golden finish. I do like it though but not gonna play with plaster on a whole canvas ever again, it gave me headaches! the acrylics just didn't act the way I wanted. and so did the eggshells, some absorbed the paint and some just rejected it. Oh well... now I know what doesn't work for me LOL.





Have a great day and play!

Love Lydia
