January 16: Worked in the studio
until my right shoulder screamed too much. (Guess I have some kind of …itis.) One
challenge I have to learn to deal with is how to do the sky without overworking
it. I kept experimenting with different colors: blues, white, cream and some
purply colors. I’m not quite sure. Maybe I have to lay the colors on and not
rub them smooth… but I like smooth…
I also used a purply-pink to add
background color in the mist, and I used some cream and a little blue to the
foreground just as a starter. Some squiggles with Yarka black will add depth when I start the trees along the ridge.
I still struggled with the
correct blue for the mountains. I played around with three-four shades of Sennelier
and Mount Vision.
Another thing I’m doing a little
different is doing more slashes and dots for the mountain trees instead of just
coloring in.
It’s an interesting start and I’m
not sure how/where it’s going to play out. I’m excited about it.
