The Hay Shed
This is a step by step painting of our hay shed.
First, I roughly drew the details of the picture onto the canvas with a pencil. Then I traced what I'd drawn with some tracing paper (I actually used baking paper) and kept that for reapplying the detail with later, after I'd painted the background.
I'm just using Acrylic paints and whatever brushes seemed logical at the time.
Here you can see what I mean by reapplying the detail. I simply used the baking paper with the traced drawing on it.
I think I used a fan brush here for giving the effect of the fluffy ends of the native Bamboo grass.
For the leaves I used a sponge because my old faithful "leaf" brush died.
If you squint your eyes and have a great imagination it kind of looks like the original. :)
God bless,
