- This painting depicts the
dark, murky waters of the
canals. I used my
outliner hollow-container
brushes to apply the outline
of the paints then brushed
in the other vivid colours
with medium sized
acrylic paintbrushes. I love
the contrast of the dark
green depicting the algae,
with the red depicting the
rotting seaweed and the
blue depicting the water.
The heavy texture depicts
the movement in the water
and the murkiness and
heaviness of the body of
water, full of debris and silt
and all kinds of pollution.
