I pass this tree on my way back from work. Today I had the big camera with me. And being a public holiday, there weren't many people around, so I was able to take 3 quick exposures from across the road.
HDR, 3 exposures, handheld
A tranquil lakeside scene with lush green trees lining the shore and a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The calm water reflects the vibrant colors of the sky, creating a peaceful and idyllic atmosphere
A FUN EXPERIMENT!
Done with Gesso, Tissue Paper, Watercolor & Acrylic.
For anyone who might be interested, this is the technique.
I used a heavy backing board from a sketch pad.
I Gessoed it completely using a palette knife to spread it thin but cover well.
I tore pieces of white tissue paper and applied it using more gesso as the glue, with an old stiff brush.(Keep brush wet and rinse occasionally).
Let the pieces form wrinkles and bumps...you are going for texture, but make sure there are no air pockets under the tissue. You can make the ridges and grooves as thick or thin as you desire.
Let it dry completely.
Now you can draw on it and/or just freely apply any medium.
Quite different than painting on paper however...:)
The Asian Occasion: Part 0
We start our long-awaited vacation by taking a plane to L.A., and celebrating the beginning in style with Steve's brother Jon and enjoying all that Southern California has to offer. It's crazy there, but I just might want to come back.
Amaranthine Corokia Christmas tree.
A unique christmas design, the corokia branches give the tree great depth, while the brightly coloured baubles help to spread the christmas cheer.
I loved the delicateness of this single tree as I walked towards it. I quickly changed lens and took a few frames before heading on down the path. Its such a shame frosts like this don't happen down here more often.

White-breasted Kingfisher
The white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) also known as the white-breasted kingfisher or Smyrna kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Asia from Turkey east through the Indian subcontinent to the Philippines. This kingfisher is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short distance movements. It can often be found well away from water where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents and even birds. During the breeding season they call loudly in the mornings from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas or on wires.It is the State bird of West Bengal.
This is a large kingfisher, about 28 cm in length. The adult has a bright blue back, wings and tail. Its head, shoulders, flanks and lower belly are chestnut, and the throat and breast are white. The large bill and legs are bright red. The flight of the white-throated kingfisher is rapid and direct, the short rounded wings whirring. In flight, large white patches are visible on the blue and black wings. Sexes are similar, but juveniles are a duller version of the adult.
