Large Skyscape

The large skyscape is getting there now I think. The blue-greens (which look like dark blue in the cloud area) have come out a bit strongly on the photograph - they're a bit softer in reality and I have some more softening and integrating to do yet on those areas. I've also got some work to do on the top right section. I put some blue-green on and  took it off again yesterday in the right hand area of the clouds, so that will need reworking too. Sometimes it can be like that: backwards and forwards until hopefully it starts to fall into place. We'll see....

Large Skyscape (beginning)

I've returned to colour and skyscapes these last couple of weeks. I'm working on a decent scale and with oil paints so it takes a little longer (with drying time, etc). I felt a bit stretched by it on Tuesday but managed to get a bit of a flow going on Wednesday in between workshops. More dark to go into it of course but hopefully over the next two weeks it will come to. Watch this space....
