A bit of painting

I'm working normal hours now, No shifts. . .

So I really appreciate having proper weekends. I've been putting loads of miles in, on my bike and generally doing stuff. What I mean is. . . When you work shifts you have a lot of free time to do stuff, you have so much free time, you don't really do anything.

The Wash and the bottom bit done A bit of a green thing  goin' on. Yep the green stuff is growing. Almost done, Now it needs some red back. I knew that front door paint, would come in handy one day.

Seeing as the weather, this weekend, has taken a turn for the worse. I decided to do a bit of painting. I started this one last Sunday The base coat is a wash of Cadmium Red, then did the bottom bit with Yellow Ochre and White. and I left it until Yesterday morning. and added the Sap Green and White to the top bit - all Acrylics.
The splashes are Pillar Box Red gloss, (Left over from my front door). There are also some minor splashes of Pearlescent Volcano Red and Macaw Green Acrylic Ink.

I like it. . . Click on any of the thumbnails above, for a bigger pic.

I've just started another one
