Pikes Peak in September (Painting as of August 26, 2024)



Here is the painting of Pikes Peak that I have been working on, as it look very late on August 26th.  The day before, I had finally modified the composition and was happy with it, so I began to add more color, using my painting reference as a rough guide.  I wanted an intense blue for the sky.  I added purple to the mountains, and painted the snowy areas an offwhite, mixed with very pale yellow.  I added yellow-orange to the field in the foreground, and added more color to the foothills.
