| Underpainting for the stone wall. |
 |
| Painted the hole in the wall. |
 |
| First layer of stones. |
 |
| Highlight on the stones. |
 |
| Some of the mid range foliage. |
 |
| Grassy hills and water underpainting. |
 |
| Highlights on the stream, the main tree and a few little extra features here and there. |
 |
| I started a new painting for fall. Here is the drawing. |
 |
| The underpainting. Wow. What a mess that looks like huh? |
 |
| This is my third repainting of the underpainting. I'm trying to match the hazy grey background of my reference photo. I think this is it! |
 |
| Underpainted the background leaves. |
 |
| Stared adding basic trunks and branches. |
 |
| Adding color. |
 |
| Underpainted the foreground and started punching up the background color (red this session). |
 |
| Blended in the foreground some and added another layer of highlights to the leaves. I'm going to have to start on the rocks and water soon. |
 |
It's time to start the stream and the area around it
so I figured I should do some practice streams first. |
 |
| Started blocking in the rocks and the waterfalls. |
 |
| Highlighted the rocks. There are about five layers of highlights on the rocks now. |
 |
| Highlighted the leaves. I'm going to sleep on it, but I may be calling this done. Of course I'll upload a better pic. |
 |
| Of course I started by locating all of the major lines, but this is the first picture I took of the work. Here I have already located the major dark areas. |
 |
| Most of her face is done now. |
 |
| Completed her lips and refined the shading of her face. |
 |
| Her face is completely done. The shading of the background is done. I've started shading the highlighted side of her hair and some of her chest. |
 |
| Started shading her dress. |
 |
| I'm done shading her dress. I added some shading to her chest. I've also done more shading in her hair. I still have a lot of hair left to shade. |
