Snow Play ACEO Under Painting
I know, I know, I said I’d have something for you all yesterday morning, but I didn’t have time that night to get any painting done whatsoever, so I hope you’ll forgive me (-: I did, however, get some done last night, although not quite as much as I’d hoped, but at least you’ll get to see more of the process. My hand needs more and more breaks, so this will probably be a 3 day painting.
What I did here was basically a simple underpainting, just to lay in the color basics and placement of things. First I filled in the sky with a mixture of paynes gray and white. Then I added the trees with some raw umber, a tad of paynes grey and a little white to lighten it a bit. And then I added some snow on the ground with mostly white and a tad of paynes grey. After that I added the fir tree and then I added some far off evergreen trees in the distance with a mixture of some hookers green, paynes grey and white.
I really should have done the distant evergreens right after painting in the sky, but I didn’t think of it untill later, but that’s ok! So I’m not real concerned about color right now, except for the sky and distant trees, just so I have the basics laid in and I can see clearly where everything is going and the light and dark areas.
I’ll get the background finished tonight and maybe do the underpainting for the horse. Don’t worry, he will have a tail when I’m done!lol (:
Hope you’ll continue to follow me with this painting! Have a great rest of the week!
