I thought I would take a break from the plein air Maine paintings and get back to some animal art. This painting was done in my studio yesterday and is a combination of acrylic and watercolor paint. I also utilized a palette knife to get the lighter linear strokes by scratching back into the wet paint. You can see this better in the close-up.

I've also been using the palette knife to add a thicker impasto style to a few of the cow's features. This close-up shows the texture achieved by this in the cows face. 

 

Both techniques add to the finished painting. I often get bored with just slapping paint on the canvas and I'm always looking for an interesting technique that will change the course of a painting. These two techniques are current favorites but I'm sure there will be news ones around the corner.
