10/28/2022 - Rocky Mountain Way ...
Goals as I started this one were fairly simple: Use Yellow in sky, brown mountain similar to Rockies.
16x20 canvas. Painting #57 in my awesomely fun Bob Ross experience. (fun fact: 24 of the 57 are original compositions, rest are mainly Bob Ross paintings). Never created a painting in my life before Feb 1, 2022. I am really enjoying the journey. As usual picture quality kinda sucks and the painting is much sharper when looking at it.. Still not good at photographing my paintings. I just can't seem to get the camera to focus correctly.
When possible, I am going to start giving song titles to my paintings, just for fun. This one (Rocky Mountain Way) is named after the classic rock song by The James Gang :)
As always, constructive comments/feedback are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking, I appreciate you all.
Those are some awesome mountains. No snow and lots of texture. Fantastic. Very realistic.
And are those blue spruces on the left, or are my eyes deceiving me? Either way, they look nice.
wow awesome mountains. I also really like the grass texture. well done!
Thanks Brian, Alex, and Jeff. Appreciate your taking the time to comment :)
Alex, that is my attempt at blue spruce trees. I may have been a bit too heavy on the blue.
The mountains would have been nicer, except I had a happy accident and had to scrape and repaint the left 60% of the mountain LOL.
I have not mastered the paint break on the mountains yet, so I am trying to compensate by applying thinned layers of highlighting and shadows with a script liner. The effect is rather pleasing to my eye :)
Well, the script liner technique is working. Great shadows and depth.
I recently made some blue spruces, and, for some reason, they're trickier than regular evergreens. I suspect the color mixing to get the right shade of blue is the culprit.
Great mountain. I especially love the point of land sticking out into the pond.
