The Making of the Orchard Painting Takes To The Streets

The first layer is abstract, pastel chalk with matte medium, a foundation of bright rich color. Then comes the second layer using acrylic thinned with matte medium. I use the paints that are most translucent.
Every Saturday during the summer, the Farmers Market sets up just outside the back door of our studio space so we decide to take the painting to the streets each weekend for all to see the process.
I came up with the idea of painting BIG! It is absolutely a blast. Harmony came up with the idea of painting outside right across the alley from the Farmer's Market. (Marybeth, who you meet a few postings ago) is taking the picture.
