Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the Grand Canyon painting. The photo that I’m using (My own from a recent visit just a few weeks ago.) is seen directly below. I stood a this particular viewpoint and thought about how I would paint this scene, cropping the much wider original to the photo you see here.
I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6×6 inch canvas.
When last seen the painting appears as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
I’ve now added some color to the remaining white areas. Out in front is a vast green section backed by brown lit portions and blue shadowed sections. You can begin to see that central butte, the focus of this scene. I can remember thinking about that butte being the center of this scene back in September as I stood near the canyon edge.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
That mesa could be none more flat.
