Original Creation

Glacier Bay - Bill Alexander

joha59 05 Aug 2024

Some time ago I found this painting too intimidating and had no trust in a good result of my own attempt. After seeing the impressive version of Tom, in which he brought this painting alive again and he even improved the original in my opinion, I wanted to try, so here is my version, on wallpaper 40 x 30 cm, still wondering if Bill was using Prussian -or Pthalo blue, I used the last only for the shadows and the glacier.

wow this is so stunning. this is up there with the best versions I've seen, you have good reason to trust in a good result from yourself!

Incredible work!!

Nice work on this one. Seriously learning the Palette Knife I see.

Well done, Jos! Looks fabulous.

Beautiful, good job

Thank you very much Jeff (great compliment, thanks!), Elsie, Aaron (indeed most painted with the knife), Jon and Cold!

Thank you Brian!

Very nice.It is a tough one, but you mastered it well.
According to the books the phtalo blue is only used for the shadows in the background mountain. I guess to create more distance. However I mixed it with prussian blue and did not use it at any other part of the painting as I found it a bit disturbing to use that bright blue. But it always depends on the personal taste.

Thank you Tom, I knew you did not use the Pt. Blue very much.

Great painting, cheers

Hé Dave, thank you man!
