This 10×10 painting is one I’m doing as a paint-along effort from Acrylic University‘s “Bloom with Jed” paint-along video class.

The focus is on seeing the beauty in a gray, rainy day, of an ordinary (if not ugly, to my mind) marsh near a beach. But Jed points out ways to bring out the natural beauty via the painting — and of course, one way of doing it is using a magenta (PV19) background and letting bits of that tone shine through. We’ll see how it goes.
