The Dairy Cow - Painting and Travel

The Dairy Cow - West Jefferson, North Carolina
Backlighting is the main lesson in this demonstration. A wash of acrylics is used to lay in the basic shapes of the cow then slowly built up from there with more color. A dark background is applied to give the backlit subject additional contrast. Roger finishes the painting by adding subtle color shifts to the face of the animal. Sarah visits a butchery, cheese factory and several art galleries in the attractive downtown.
