This just in: “Snow on the Mountains” was created by painting on the back of plexiglass. Painting on Plexiglass offers less control, and a more organic look. It can be challenging because you must paint a painting in reverse, beginning with the highlights. But Plexiglass is a favorite surface for me because you get some really interesting effects with depth. I often will layer panels to achieve the right depth of background, as you can see in my photo below. Sometimes I’ll layer multiple panels together as one piece, which really adds a more 3-dimensional look.
If you look closely at the photo above, you can see my reflection in the sky. Photographing artwork with a reflective surface can be a challenge, but worth the risk!
“Snow on the Mountains” 12’x12” Acrylic on Plexiglass, available.
Below are other paintings I created on plexiglass:
“Waterfall in the Woods” in progress 2017 Kristen Pobatschnig
“Waterfall in the Woods” 8x9’ triptych located in Settlers Green, North Conway, NH 2017 Kristen Pobatschnig
Paint was applied to both the front and the back. I secured the front with a coat of resin.
