| I'm happy with the way this painting turned out. "Trabajano Con Mi Padre" is suppose to tell a story. Translated to English the title means "Working With My Dad". I guess it's take your daughter to work day in Taos. The parishioners in Taos, New Mexico step forward every June to help restore their famous adobe church. The girl is reaching into the wheelbarrow for a handful of fresh adobe mud to give her father. He is putting a new layer of plaster on the surface of a large buttress which helps support the massive walls of the church. This watercolor was painted on a full sheet of 300 lb Arches Rough watercolor paper. Prior to applying any paint, I applied a bit of acrylic molding paste with a pallet knife to create the adobe texture. |
