Mountains

Today, I was painting with the Buckhorn Artists' Group and one of our members Debra Wasson was giving a demonstration of painting forsythias.

I tried sketching out a drawing of them to paint, but I just couldn't get into it, so I went through some of the partially completed paintings I had also brought along with me and decided that I would work on this one that I had started many years ago (see post on 22 January 2011).

I wanted to soften the clouds because they were too hard edged to be believable.

Using a bristle brush and water I gently softened the edges of the clouds starting with the furthest back ones above the mountains and gradually worked down the layers of cloud to the top of the mountains.











After looking at it I decided I also needed to do the same to the cloud bank below the mountain peak.

I set this piece aside to dry while the Group stopped to have lunch and discuss having our 30th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale in August now that things were opening up and my regular shows were once again happening.

When I returned to this painting, the paper was dry so I made of dark of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna with a small amount of alizarin crimson.

I darkened the top edges of the mountains and added a few shadow details.

This painting, once it is framed will be available for $165.00.
