Desert Canyon - Bill Alexander

Dirk1968 23 Apr 2024

Today I had some time to paint something again and decided on my first desert scene by Bill and I have to say in retrospect, it wasn't my comfort zone.
I thought a wood effect in old oak would fit perfectly and started. I had already prepared the wood effect and could start directly with the adhesive tape .With the cutter knife, wavy lines cut and pressed firmly.The inner part again primed with gesso, sanded and applied after 45 minutes, liquid white. It was not quite easy to design the mountains but all in all I am satisfied. Now it's up to you to judge whether you like it. As always fresh from before 35. Minutes, my version of Desert Canyon by Bill Alexander.
Canvas 24 x30 cm( 9,45 x 11,80 Inch) real Wood Effekt. Uv-Tape orange,Gesso, grinded 240/400, liquid white , time 4 hours

Nice! I never even knew Bill did any desert scenes.

Good evening from germany , Matt . I also only know two of Bill, Desert Canyon and Desert Scene. I oriented myself a little more towards the tutorial. The version of the picture on.Alexander Art is slightly different. Thank you for your support πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Very nicely done Dirk! The softness of your background is beautiful and the unique rock formations look great too! πŸ‘πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ😎

Great job overall on the composition, Dirk. I especially like the soft feel of the sandy slope as a complement to the rock formations and flowering plant.
