july oil painting WIP 1

ok since i got some professinal frames ( for free cuse he liked me and my work and my dad has him do all of his framing needs , he collects art ) . so since i havent painted in awhile i thought well this would be a swell opertunity. then i though , hey why dont i just do a wip?!. ok! heh ok here we go!

mm fredrix canves!

and here is the frame that i got:

ok so i sketched it out and came up with this , took some ideas from http://www.thecormanycollection.com/Piecesites/YellowFlowers.html
that is my dads art collection website^


so now i grid it all out , and i aswell grid it on the photoshop image.

i then sketch it out on the canves, this is where i think of how to layer the painting , and here is its gona go, sky+water < mountains + land < trees < flowers


i put down a yellow ochre wash , it will help contrast the colors with bare canves.


now is the sky , i just mix up some white with a dash of blue and yellow.
this is the color of the base of the river , i did not take a pic of it when it was on the canves but you can see it.

and here is the river , it is not done , after a few days ima go back and add some rocks and some more spalshes .



ok that is it so far , hope you enjoy seeing these progression pictures.
