8x10 Landscape Study Complete

Not the happiest with it but every painting is a learning opportunity.

8x10 Landscape (Further Progress)

Fleshing it out further, trying to soften it up in places and unify the overall effect somewhat.

8x10 Landscape (Update)

Further progress. Trying to get the right balance of hard and soft edges to create a convincing portrayal. May need to get further along before passing judgement. Trying to create convincing earthy tones without looking too saturated as well.

8x10 Landscape Study

Another acrylic on canvas, this time a study of Zion National Park in Utah. I've been wanting to try a southwest landscape for some time, with the rugged landscape and earthy tones allowing for interesting compositions and light/shadow interaction. Just got the mid-tones blocked in, hoping that this will begin to focus as I add detail.

Forest Light (Complete)

Completed this small landscape with some detailed work, and adding more contrast to accentuate the light.

Forest Light (Further Progress)

I've managed to create the mid-tones  and dry-brushed them between the darks and lights that were blocked in on the first post to achieve a nice soft effect and unify the scene. Blocked in the trees with a mix of Burnt Umber, Payne's Grey and Ultramarine Blue.
