Colorado Front Range (Acrylic Watermedia) as of May 24, 2018


This morning I continued work on this painting. This is acrylic paint used with water on aquabord.  This is part of a series of paintings that I call "Mountain Daydreams" because they are painted from my imagination and my memories of Colorado.  This one is based on a specific memory of the drive along the Front Range, and I am using one of my photos as a reference.  This morning, I began by modifying some of the lines, using my photo as a rough guide. I started the sky with some blue.  Then I added washes -- teal blue,  magenta, and dusty rose -- to blend the colors and make them more harmonious. I saw a lot of improvement today, but there are still some things I want to fix.
