Landscape changes


I have made some changes to this painting. I removed the line of trees, which was a distraction and provided too much contrast and replaced them with a softer background to better harmonize with the rest of the painting. I may make a few minor changes and will then post this new painting on Etsy.

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.

New Landscape




I am working on a new landscape and posting progress as it comes together. In the lower image I am concentrating on the lights and darks and establishing a color theme. In the middle image I have detailed more of the rock formation and added some highlights in the grass. The top image
has more detail and I have slightly darkened the foreground. This painting will be finished in a few days and will be listed in my Etsy shop.

This new painting is something a little different. I used a fan brush almost exclusively on this one. It gives this work a light, airy, impressionistic feel. It is 11 X 14 on Ampersand archival quality gesso board panel and is now listed in my Etsy shop.
