August Artist of the Month - Amy Shawley

​Post #1: Painting Process

Hello!  I'm thrilled to be a recent Bozart member and look forward to sharing more about my work this month here on Facebook!  For my first post in this series, I want to share more about my painting process.

I love working in layers - applying a textured ground, drawing an image, then adding and subtracting color to create a sense of atmosphere around the subject I am painting.  My time as an educator for Golden Paints has increased my interest in exploring what acrylic mediums/gels/pastes could do to build a unique foundation for painting, so most of my work (whether it is oil, acrylic, or watercolor) is done on top of a textured acrylic ground.  This post includes a series of photos that document steps of my process painting "I'll Meet You at the Summit".
