This is the painting at the end of the next session of painting I just finished tonight. At this point I am adding the substance and depth of the cloud formations – fleshing them out and adding the light. I also added some ground just so I can begin to get the weight of the land to sky ratio.
You are caught up with me on the progress of the painting. I will try and get back to my easel off and on all week but progress is always slower than weekends.
Look for the page to launch this week as well. That will help compare each session side by side to watch the progress. It’ll be fun!

This is the painting at the end of the second session. This painting will be mostly about sky – storm clouds that have just passed and are beginning to give way to breaking sun over open savanna with scrub growth. I am not entirely sure just what kind of tree or plant at this point but it will be small to allow for proper scale. The canvas is 11″ x 14″ and the medium is oils.
