i painted a covered bridge a few months ago. It was a winter scene. I had a request from someone to paint another covered bridge. This time I went with a late summer - early autumn scene. The bridge was done in a monocramatic style with black and white gesso. Taped over the bridge and masked off the three foreground trees, and got started with the oils on the sky, distant tree line and then the ground over. I removed the tape from the bridge and highlighted the wood sections with varying tones of red/ivory black. The birch trees were done last, with the close-up leaves being brushed on with a filbert and round brush. The painting is an 11x14 stretched canvas. The painting wraps around the edges.
