Clouds over the Mountains as of May 3, 2014


May 3rd was the second day that I worked on this painting, a mountain landscape in acrylics (used as water media on watercolor paper).  The composition was basically done, but I wanted to add more complexity to the colors, so I used a blue wash over parts of the sky as over the purple mountain. Then I added an acra violet wash to the red mountain.  These are all subtle differences, but I was a lot happier with the colors when I was finished.  But the sky still needed work.  To be continued.
