Cottonwoods in Winter

Day 3
I decided to experiment with various colors of grounds. This involves putting down a base color on the Masonite that already has 3 coats of gesso. I am using an acrylic paint and then letting it dry before beginning the painting. Yesterday I used black. I actually like some of the paintings I see with a black gesso but it was my first. Today I used a bright blue which you will see peeking thru in small areas.  I took the photo reference yesterday along with the "All In A Row". Tomorrow I will try pink.
