So looking at this painting straight up it just looks like a snowy landscape (looked at from above), you can't really make up any extreme detail. The awesome thing about big paintings is that their is always a lot of space for extreme details, details that sometimes the eye will miss if it's looked at quickly without zooming in and really LOOKING at it. Once you really LOOK at it - it's like magic.
This piece is the third in my white painting series. It consists of a layer of newsprint and tracing paper covered with layers of green, blue and yellowish whites and also white acrylic paint mixed with varnish - gloss and matt. It has lots of tiny little cracks in certain places which bring out a certain amount of character in this painterly landscape. It is my last painting of 2012 and my third year of BA Fine Arts.
