NOLA City Park Bridge

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Wess Foreman

With this large painting I was going for lots of texture [if that's not clear from seeing the image itself]. I achieved this effect with layers of paint applied with brush, with textured roller, with pallet knife, and with splashes and drips of paint. I gave a little relief to this texture onslaught with a wash of white in the center above and below the bridge---this little change helps to push this area to the background and helps the bridge stand on it's own in the foreground.
