Hi...and welcome to my art work! **** This is a 16 X 20 acrylic on canvas painting! It was my first attempt at acrylics and I thought it was going to be a "snap"!! It wasn't!!! LOL I used modeling paste to build up a 3D look to the trees on a blank canvas then started painting. I thought a sunset would be easy to blend...but it wasn't...at least for my first attempt. It didn't come out quite like I wanted but maybe next time! LOL **** I hope you enjoyed your visit and will stop back again! All comments are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for them! :) **** Have a wonderful week creating the masterpieces you all do soooo well! **** God Bless!!

I have never seen anyone use modeling paste to build up a 3-D look...so very unique! I think it turned out beautifully! Its like sculpture and painting in one!

Artist Reply: Thank you, Lisa! There's all kinds of things like "lava rock", "sand", etc. that you can use with acrylics or oils. You just have to apply it to a blank canvas and let it dry good before painting. So you have to get your design on there right in the beginning because you only get one shot!! LOL Sometimes you have to do it in layers and let each layer dry before applying another one. I was just experimenting because I've never had any instruction on using these things or acrylics...
