Hello Merry!
Quick drawings and color studies showing different perspectives.
Please let me know your preference, including additional ideas or references.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and getting started of the oil. Laura :)
Composition #1
Shows just a section of the river
Comp #2
Shows a length of river
Ok, here we go....
18"x36" oil on canvas:
Underpainting
Preliminary shapes. Lights and Darks...
Deepening the darks with Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna. Distinguishing the far shore line.
Developing foliage along river's edge.
Working on some of the details now :)
And more details on far shore.
Compressed files have their drawbacks. There is quite a lot going on in the dark area of trees on far bank.
Detail shows upper left foliage a little better.
Finally signed. Just need to paint the edges, let it dry and ship it!!!
Hope you like it!
Laura
