Stormclouds and Mountain (Painting as of Jan. 23, 2017)


This is the painting that I have been working on this week.  This is acrylic paint used with water on watercolor paper. This mountain landscape is part of a series I call "Mountain Daydreams," paintings created from my imagination and my memories of the Colorado mountains.  Today I concentrated mostly on the sky, adding some pale washes to lighten the sky.  I also added some highlights to the mountain top.  This is almost done, though there are a few things I want to fix.  You might notice that the color is very different from yesterday's photo.  That's because I took this photo in the evening under artificial light, while yesterday's photo was taken in daylight.
