The Thunder

This is a painting I ended up very pleased with.

The main reason for it is the impression of lightning bolts coming down from the sky.

This impression of thunder was made using a lump of damp kitchen paper, just dabbing it lightly on the half dried paint.

I then let it dry completely, before using a small liner brush with indigo paint to add the pine trees.

I then did a wash of blue and green to make up the field, before adding a few extra strokes of dark blue paint for the shadows.

The fence posts are added using gouache.

I hope you like it, and that you’re having a good day!
