Spring and summer have always been a busy time & this year has been far busier than usual. With a move, landscaping, gardening, visitors and camping trips, very little time was dedicated to painting. Today – finally – I have put a nice dent in a painting I had started a couple of months ago. Here’s a step by step of the painting process so far.
The underpainting – using burnt Sienna to draw in
Into the colour now and getting a gradation in the sky
More colour and lots of stepping back to see if I am digging the drawing and if the values (light and darks) are correct. I already see some areas I need to adjust once the sky is dry, but overall things are going well.
