This morning I took a few minutes to look at photos of canyons in Colorado (Boulder, Glenwood, and Lefthand Canyon) just to refresh my visual memory before I went back to this painting. First, I added more of the textured red areas by painting through a net. I let it dry for a few minutes, then did some wash off. Then I used brown to add more naturalistic shapes to the cliffs. Then I used a pale blue wash over the cliffs. While I was at it, I reworked this sky. This is not finished, but it is getting closer to the way I want it to look. Tomorrow I hope to be able to add more light to the canyon and intensify the blue.
