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.

Sky

Working on a new painting. I have roughed in the sky on this one and added some cloud cover and I will continue to work on that. I am undecided at this time on the lower part of this painting.

New Landscape

This is a work in progress I posted a sketch of earlier. The above is a updated sketch and the beginning of the painting. I have worked on the background and the dark value in the center of this painting. The bottom third of this work is to consist of a rock slope with shadows and some green values for balance.

Pastoral Impression

This painting is finished and will be listed on Etsy. It is a loose, impressionistic study of a field of flowers with the contrasting dark values of the trees in the background. It is 11 X 14 with gallery wrapped canvas.

Red Mountain

This is an original painting. It is on gallery wrapped canvas, so could be hung with or without frame. It is signed on bottom left and signed and dated on back. It measures 21 X 28. I was struck by the red color of these mountains, due to their iron ore content, while recently traveling in Colorado. This painting ships USPS.

Bryce Canyon Landscape

Today I am posting another desert southwest painting. I enjoy visiting the national parks and have developed several paintings from these areas of the country. This painting is on gallery wrapped canvas and can be hung with or without frame. The size is 22 X 28. I also offer prints of this painting at artist rising. Links for both are at top right of this blog.
