Driving towards Vail (Acrylic Watermedia) as of February 21, 2019


I am working on a mountain landscape, and this is how it looked yesterday when I finished painting.  This is one of my "Mountain Daydreams," inspired by memories of the Colorado mountains.  In this case, I am working from a photo that I took in Colorado last summer, as we were driving to Vail.  Yesterday's focus was the foreground; I had started with a dark green that was heading towards teal.  I wanted to bring the color closer to a mid-range green and also wanted to add some light to the foreground. So I added some pale yellow washes, as well as a bit of brown in selected areas.  To be continued. . . .
