Acrylic on canvas board, 9 inches x 12 inches.  Based on a photo I found online years ago while I was in the UK. When I was in my 30’s I learned to repel off of not very high rock faces. I never was dare-devil enough to become a climber. Actually this “climber” could be repelling.

Paints:

  • Ultramarine blue
  • Cobalt blue
  • Raw sienna
  • Burnt sienna
  • Raw umber
  • Sap green
  • P-Blue
  • Titanium white
  • Yellow ochre

I used a variety of flat and round brushes and a small pallet for mixing. I used the pallet for the mountains and hills, as well as some of the edges on the rock face.

I worked on the painting for about 2 hours. Here are a couple of images of the painting.
