Eastern Washington Relics, 2015 Acrylic on panel 11" x 14"
I had to pull in to check out these two nice old tractors down on road 12. The nice lady at the residence said sure, go paint away (thanks!). So as the sun was going down I set up my easle and painted for about an hour getting the basic composition and values down. I then took a few photos and added detail back in the studio.
The original sky, clouds & trees I had were too dark and defined so I lighted up the background quite a bit to make the tractors stand out.
