The Explorers Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

Kids having a load of fun in the sun...what a warm picture...a pleasant contrast to the winter weather we're involved in.

I first sketched the scene in ink using a Pitt Artists Pen. Then I applied loose, watery washes of color. I kept going back in with thicker, opaque acrylics to bring it to a finish. I really like this approach on the smooth hardboard.

The photo from which this painting was done was supplied by Briar for this week's WDE.
