Driving down to Paso Robles, the road took us to this beginning of a small town. The barns and houses were set against these beautiful golden hills with dark green trees nestled in the crooks and crevasses. I wondered what could be around the corner.
Normally, I paint on top of a bright red or purple, sometimes a black background or underpainting. However, with this scene because of the golden hills, I chose to experiment using a gold metallic acrylic underpainting. I loved the effect! Everywhere I did not paint on the underpainting, the shine of the gold showed through and in the right light, it really made the painting glow.
