Flat Top Mountain Progress - These are actually in reverse order, the one on the bottom is the first one. As you can see from the last post I blocked in the base colors of blue and yellow. On the image on the top I have started to add the detail. I work top to bottom. The trees and snow work will be coming next after I finish the mountains. Taking a 6 x 9 and blowing it up to a 20 x 30 has presented some challanges. ie: the center of interest will need to be more apparent. In the smaller painting it was not as necessary to have a focal point. This painting will demand a focal point and I am processing that in my mind right now.
The other consideration I am pondering is whether to add people out enjoying a sunny winter day in Chugach State Park. I could put x-country skiers out, or maybe some wildlife. Any ideas you may have feel free to suggest. This is the early stages of the painting, so I can play and make changes freely still.
