Melting Snow - Day 2
bco
Primarily worked on the background mountains/fog bank -- lots of glazing to make the light and shadow close in value and to evoke atmospheric perspective. Also started laying in some color in the hills. Although I am not sure I'll be able to make the goal I established a couple weeks ago (namely: finish this before all the snow melts), I am definitely going to pick up the pace. Current goal: work on this every day this week.
1.4 hours today. It felt really good to work on art with sun shining into my studio. I know they say south light is bad because it changes so frequently (which is true -- it does change quite a lot)...but it just feels wonderful to paint with the sun streaming in.
