Abstract Landscape - Blue Sky, Red Earth

"Blue Sky, Red Earth" acrylic paint on 8x8x1/2 inch (20x20x1.3cm) stretched canvas

A base of three layers of Atelier Interactive Napthol Red Lt was left to dry. I was trying to get a smooth layer for another project but couldn't so this canvas had been left untouched for months.

Jo Sonja Carbon Black was used to mark where the horizon line would be (just a little below centre). Matisse Structure acrylics in Transparent Venetian Red, Deep Rose Madder, Transparent Umber, a touch more of the Carbon Black (land), Australian Sky Blue, Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine and Atelier Interactive Mixing White (pearl/titanium) (sky) were brushed on roughly and leaving the red base to show through in places.

The painting has been sealed with Atelier Interactive Fast Medium/Fixer.
