"Bike for Mike" $75 11" x 11" image |
I’ve had friends staying with me all week, so it’s been hard to keep up. This morning, I did a really easy one. This is called, “Bike for Mike”, and is acrylic, image size 11” x 11”. If interested, go to my website, karenknutson.com and click on Shop All.
Tip of the Day: Zoom into a subject for a different take on it. It will be recognizable as a bike without having the whole thing. Then you can have fun with textures in the background. I took a close up photo of a bicycle years ago when we were on Mackinac Island, and used it for my reference. I started this painting with a busy underpainting. Mine is acrylic, and that process is on my video, which is available through this link. https://painttube.tv/products/karen-knutson-fun-with-acrylics?_pos=2&_sid=eed455fbe&_ss=r. Once you get your busy underpainting on, I negative paint around the bicycle. Then I can glaze with another color to add interest to that color. Below are the steps of this painting.
