"Three Horses in a Corner" Acrylic painting by Teresa Cox Kolar of Sweet Mare Studio

Hello Fellow Creative Ones! :-D

 This is Teresa Cox Kolar of Sweet Mare Studio 

and I am truly pleased and honored to 

return to the RubberMoon blog as a guest artist.

My last post was in February. It is exciting to be back for a visit! 

Today I will show you how to create the painting below 

"Three Horses In A Corner."

"There Horses In A Corner"

Acrylic painting

1.Your Painting Surface

 You will need a 12x12 inch artist panel, 3/4" deep 

or any other size you might prefer.

This panel is made by Ampersand and is wonderful

 to work on as it is a hard surface, perfect for stenciling. 

I also enjoy the texture as it so closely resembles real canvas. 

Cloth-like texture on a super sturdy surface-perfect!

2. Your Under Painting

For this step you will need the following acrylic paints and one brush:

Burnt Sienna

Manganese Blue Hue

Naples Yellow Hue

Wide, flat, scrubby, inexpensive paint brush

The brands I use are Golden and Liquitex. 

Other brands should work just fine too.

3. The Final Details

Various handmade stencils. I have drawn

 and cut out  my own stencils in the 

shapes of a horse, bird, oval.

Feel free to create any designs that you prefer.

For my stencils I used a manila folder. For the smaller white circles

I used the RubberMoon Organic Circle Stamp #TK6F. For the triangle designs I used the stencil shown. I found it at Michael's Art Store.

Paint colors for these final detail were Burnt Sienna, Gray, Blue Gray, White and Cobalt Turquoise.

VOILA!!
