Workshop9--Layer3

oil on canvas 11" by 14" This is the third layer--whole dry painting after layer 2 is coated with Galkyd lite (like Liquin) and wiped back with paper towel to thin layer. I then paint into this with warm and cool glazes in my darks (transparent earth red, ultramarine blue, indian red) to knock back some of the more saturated colors in layer 3. I then scumbled some darker colors on my foreground light areas of the same pigments to define the rocks better, put some gray-greens on the bushes, lightened and cooled the distant cliffs and popped some more reds into my middle ground rocks. There will be at least one more layer that concentrates on the highlights, bushes and fixes any edges that are too hard and puts a few greens into the shadows. Some of my rocks have some cloning and a potato look and need to be chisled out and made more abstract.
