Well, I worked on this painting for several months. It's a design by Neadeen Masters that she taught online through Art Apprentice Online (AAO) classroom. This actually was quite a breakthrough for artists to be teaching their skills to people online through virtual classrooms. Videos were loaded up on a website along with patterns and written instructions. You sent photos in for critique at different stages. A new way of learning art.
Neadeen paints with a multitude of layers of transparent paint. I was using a new artist quality paint from DecoArt called Traditions. It's only available through painting studios but it compares in quality to paints like Golden and Liquitex.
There was a lot of extender used on this painting. Extender mixed into the paint slows down the drying time and gives you the ability to blend the paint in a similar way to using oil based paint. The colours of the sunrise and the poppies in this painting really GLOW!
