July

I really didn't feel like painting this morning as I got up a bit late. But decided to do it anyways.

So here we go.

I was in the mood for a purple sky, so I made it so.

I spent quite a bit of time doing clouds. It adds a bit of depth. Actually looks a lot better in person.

Started in on the mountains.



Pretty crazy range. Not my favorite, but atleast it was a big complex to work with.

Next we are half way through highlights.

Now completely.

I always seem to forget steps. Inbetween layers you're supposed to tap and then lift upwards to create misty layers that are used for seperation. I remembered the tap, but no the lift upwards :) Ooops.  I corrected it later.

At this point I was kinda lost. I could do foothills till the cows come home, but honestly I'm kinda sick of them. Decided to go for some bushes which I suck at. But it's something different so WOOT.

They didn't turn out to bad. So you'll have to forgive me at this point. I kinda got carried away and didn't take pictures of each step. But basically I did some more land, a couple pine trees. Filled in the entire water area with blue and decided to do a waterfall.  Since the trees went over well in the last painting I decided to add some to this one. So we skip pretty much to the finished product.

Tada.
