I built up lots of texture on this panel before beginning to paint this landscape. I blocked in the darkest areas by squinting and then applying the darkest values onto the board loosely and vaguely. Today I began to apply the middle colors and I’ve got a lot more of that to do as well as establishing the areas of waterfall. Honestly, I’m getting way too detailed on this and I’ve got to let go of that or else it’s going to be way too tight. Pushing the pause button for now… cheers!
This blog documents my creative journey with watercolor, mixed media, & oil painting. I'm enjoying myself immensely and hope you find something uplifting in my paintings and/or their stories.
