This is acrylic on canvas, 24 x 36".
I created textural effects with modeling paste.

Cute scene - reminds me of the old, colorful hilltop villages one can find in various places around Europe!

Interesting, I have seen that red and blue are important colors in you're paintings. well done.

This made me smile! I love the texture. Is the light hitting the ridges of the texture causing the highlights, or did you add lighter colors to bring that out -or maybe a bit of both? I really, really like this!

Thank you all for such nice comments.

Krista, I do texture using a mixture of modeling paste and gesso. When it’s dry I apply a paint, then I scrub canvas with a rag. This removes paint from ridges and live it in the valleys of texture. As a results I got highlights.
