Waialua Stream painting

     Aloha, Pehea oe? I've started a new painting of the stream at Waialua, Moloka'i as a basic reference for the composition. I'm adding a few other elements that will tranform it to a magical, tropical window onto paradise. At least that is my intention. This photo taken on May 5th, 2012 represents the progress attained after completing 3 sessions at the easle. The canvas is a 30" x 48" built by me. It was prepared by applying 3 coats of acrylic gesso with a 3" bristle brush, sanded after each coat. The pigments used so far are: Titanium White, Cobalt blue and Quinacridone Magenta.

      Well...Mahalo nui loa for stopping in. Have a Mai Ka'i Day! Aloha oe, Timo
