Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.728

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Grand Canyon. 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 last time I have continued to work on the painting.

I have continued on to the large left side shadowed butte, a part to which I have not looked forward. I attempted to paint the various levels with limited detail, as seen in the photo. I'm not really happy with this and will make another attempt for next week's installment.

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.

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

I've finally begun the various buttes and shadows of the central portion of the scene. I have tried simlar scenes before with litle success. However, I am happy with these so far. May it continue to go well.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.726

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Grand Canyon. 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.

I've added more color, darkening things a bit to see if the image will have the illusion of great distance. Note the brown lit buttes and dark shadows below. I've left the far distance lighter for an attempt at aerial perspective.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.725

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Grand Canyon. 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.

I've gone ahead and added some color to each of the elements. I like to get an idea of how things will work by adding some thin color on the canvas. It's still easy to change things around if it isn't working well. I'm happy with things so far.

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