Acrylic Underpainting Demonstration Painting - cont'd

4/17/2013

Further to yesterday's post.  Here is the progression to the finished painting:

Stage 4
The next day, when I looked at the painting, I decided to lighten the sky and the water.  The bush that made a vague appearance in Stage 2 and 3 was eliminated.  I started to suggest logs and stuff under the tree and continued to scumble paint on the sand in the foreground.

Stage 5
Now things are starting to come together.  I redefined some branches that got lost under foliage and used some more negative painting to bring the background mountains and the water through the trees. I am starting to think the very light water next to the tree is too light.

Finished painting
This is the final painting.  I adjusted values here and there and painted enough twigs etc. on the beach to make it read as sand. Now it is just up to my husband to give it a name!

I hope you enjoyed sharing in the progress of this painting! Feel free to leave comments and questions.
