April Snow, North of Boulder (Painting as of Sept. 22, 2023)

Here is how this painting looked at the end of the day on September 22.  I put extra time into it that day, and made a lot of progress.  I covered the sky with pink pasted paper, and covered the foreground with a pale yellow that is almost a neutral.  Then I established shadows on the mountains with two shades of blue, and the shapes of the foothills with pieces of gray paper. The mark for the sun is still blue, from the original sketch.  But it will soon change color. To be continued. .
