Broomstick Tulips

Broomstick Tulips

Acrylics on 1.5 inch Gallery Wrapped Finished Edges

48x60 inches (4x5 feet) - original painting

 

 

Made with a broomstick to see how big this thick paint can go. Results turned out amazing.

To get the large size stipple effect for the background of many different greens, a home-made tool was invented by Ruth, which consisted of grouping 7 different stiff bristle brushes together, found at several different stores.

This made a 2 inch diameter brush big enough to pounce in less time over a canvas this large (4 by 5 feet)... to get to the fun part of painting with the biggest brush ever... a broomstick.
