Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.589

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Grand Canyon painting. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 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 added to the very front and rear of the image. Out in front, I've continued the wispy portions of the buttes down into the shadows. A similar effect is seen in the original photo. In the far rear, I've broken up the distant cliffs/buttes into smaller shapes. The painting is now done.

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

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

I've darkened the blue of the foreground elements. They are now clearly set apart from the distant elements to the rear. The banding of the foreground buttes is now mostly complete. I've attempted to mirror the patterns of the photo without getting bogged down in too much detail.

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 have continued to refine the scene. The edges of various elements are now sharp and no white is seen. I've also began to add color to better differentiate the distant buttes. The distant shadowed portion is different as well. Up front I've begun the banding of color.

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 have painted in the major elements set down in my pencil sketch. Things are rough right now but you can get a sense of where I'm going. Buttes appear in brown, shadow in blue. There is much left to do.

I'll have have a new painting to show you next week. See you then.
