Mountains - A Work in Progress

For this painting I am using a mixture of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.

Using a flat brush and a thick mixture of paint I put in the mountain tops.









I gradually added a little more water to the paint to lighten the colour and brushed in the sky in the upper right hand corner and left the area white for the edge of the clouds against it.

I added a little more water and continued to build up layers of clouds with gradually lighter paint.

I set this painting aside to dry and will complete it at a later date.
