I am working on a new landscape. In the first image the colors are roughed in. In the second the foreground dark value is established. In the third the clouds are softened somewhat and the horizon is more detailed with some orange and yellow indicated and some definition added to the bottom of the clouds. Next will be deciding what to include in the foreground.

work in progress

I am showing several steps in developing a new painting. After assembling the stretcher strips and stretching the canvas, I apply two coats of gesso and then an under-painting shown in the first photo. I then begin to sketch the general outline in charcoal. Next I have painted in the sky and mountains, which may still be subject to some changes. The bottom of the painting then receives a second under-painting in brighter hues. Some dark areas are also indicated. In the top photo I have started to indicate some detail. I will post more on this painting as it develops.
