Trees - acrylic painting on canvas

Description

This painting is a representation of twisted oak trees in a dense forest. The trees themselves were painted using a mixture of black acrylic paint and metallic copper poster paint, painted in several layers to give a slightly raised texture. The leaves were painted in simple dabs, deliberately creating a less detailed effect than that of the trees. I used the the same poster paint for this, mixed with green acrylic.

The box canvas on which this forest is painted measures 41cm (16") high, just over 50cm (just under 20") long, and just under 4cm (1.5") deep. The detail of the trees and their leaves continues over the edges of the canvas.
