| Barn #10, Acrylic on Crescent Board, 10"x10", $100 |
Day ten of the 30 Day Challenge. In this painting I used a technique that is more closely related to watercolor than my previous paintings. I used fluid acrylics (from a squeeze bottle instead of a tube) which are less opaque than tube paints and that also spread and blend differently. I used Crescent Board that had been gessoed - the effect is of a coarse, not very absorbent watercolor paper (Crescent Board is watercolor paper that has been adhered to an archival core similar to mat board.) I plan to return to this method - I think it could have real possibilities for adding abstract elements to a painting.
This barn belongs to a neighbor down the road. He has a bunch of barns and outbuildings of various vintages. Since I took this photo, the small sawdust silo has been pulled down. It wasn't being used anymore and it was pretty decrepit.

Hi Anna - I love this painting, it just popped out at me as I perused the paintings on Leslie's site this morning. I didn't know about acrylics being different in the bottle than the tube, good to know. Also, the surface news was noted - thanks for sharing!
