Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing my painting of Navajo Bridge near the Arizona/Utah border. My recent photo is seen below.
I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5×7 inch canvas panel.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does directly below.
I’ve now done some work on the cliffs and river. I’m not particularly happy with the color of the water. I may change it.
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.
I can see how getting the coloring of the water in the river to look the way you want it can be a challenge. The water in the photo looks like it is barely moving, and the coloring suggests a good amount of algae. In your painting at the moment, I see what you are going for with coloring, but the challenge is to paint the river in such a way that suggests relative stillness rather than a strong moving current. I know I am wording this awkwardly. Right now, your painting is a work in progress. I look forward to what you’ve done with it this coming Saturday. Cheers!
