Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.537

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Grand Canyon. I am using the photo seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 10x10 inch canvas.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.

For this week's cycle I've begun to add some of the details seen in the original photo. Note the shadows now seen on the upper portions of the two main buttes. These shadows define the broken structure of the rocks. I've also begun the shadowed lower reaches. (The blue area.) These lower areas will need a good deal of further work. There is still much to do.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.

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