Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.424

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will starting the new painting of the Grand Canyon. The photo that I will be using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 10x10 gallery-wrapped canvas.

I began with a pencil grid upon which I added the major elements. This preliminary pencil sketch is seen directly below.

I then proceeded to paint in some base colors. These will change with time but they provide a starting point. Note that the features in the center already have a wonderful rhythm.

The current state of the painting si seen directly below.

I'll have much more to show you next week. See you then.
