"Rugged Coast" Ireland

Day 26: 30 Paintings in 30 Days "Traversing the Atlantic"

"Rugged Coast" takes us back to Ireland as we traveled along a winding road when we cut through the mountains on the Berra Peninsula.   This painting has a different appearance than the other posts. It was painted on a gatorboard that was primed for a highly textured surface by applying both pumice ground and matte gel medium.  I have been experimenting with various ways to create textures for a couple of years, and recently taught a workshop for the Pastel Painters of Cape Cod to share some techniques, fun & challenging!
