Refrence Picture and In Progress PicturesFinal PieceOh boy this project was a rollercoaster ride. I was way to eager to get it done and started the piece with very little plan. I threw down yellows, purples, and red to make to rocks and I made mud. I kept over blending, trying to add texture, getting frustrated and then wiping the paint away. After much trial and error Rossi finial made me take a step back and paint in all the rock like shapes with a gray. From there I limited my color palette to white, black and yellow and finally acheved the look I was going for. After the first layer of paint dried I was able to add purple for the deep shawdows. The water did not give me a hard time and that aspect of the painting went quickly. The trees in this piece also gave me a hard time, but with layer values I was able to stick it out. All in all, I love this painting. It was so difficult and frustrating, but I am extremely happy I did not just give up. I created nice value changes and texture. The yellow added in the water makes the piece look a little more realistic. I believe this piece is neat and I am glad I did my landscape on a portrait canvas.
