This is my oil bar painting in progress, a landscape of the ocean and sky at twilight. Today I worked mainly on the sky above the cloud formation. I am using as a reference the photo that I took from Lynch Park here in Beverly, MA, and it is a very helpful tool as I struggle to get the colors right. I brought the saturation of the blue sky down, and mixed it with more white, gray, and purple tones. I also modified some of the shapes in the cloud formation. The sky above the clouds already looks better but there are still changes I plan to make.
