Hello! I thought I would share the steps toward my under paintings for my runner gal and runner guy on a wooded trail. I believe both of these scenes are inspired by pictures I took at Blendon Woods last fall. It turns beautiful shades of yellow during the fall. I textured each canvas board first, gave each board a burnt orange wash, laid out my trees and runners and then added the oil under painting. Both of my runners look like they are about to run right off the canvas! I hope they have a good time but I hope they come back when I want to paint the details!

Until next time...
