Scamanda
"Scamanda Point, Tasmania" - an original oil on canvas painting - 120cm x 59cm
This view captivated me for the way that
the sweep of the bay continued on
unbroken to the horizon. The wide
format was especially chosen to emphasize the horizon.
The underpainting was done with an
orange / red acrylic, and when dry, oil
paint was then painted over the top. If you
consider the sky, you can see where
I have rubbed part of the clouds back whilst the oil paint was wet (using dry linen) to
expose the acrylic colours underneath, in order to bring warmth to the sky and match the colour temperature of the foreground.
