Several times during the painting of a new scene, I put a mat around my work to cut out all the marks that will not show when it is framed. I'm about 80% done with this one. The shape of the foreground water needs correcting, the lichens are only indicated....basically the right side needs resolution.
The little color study I did prior to starting this larger work is a big help in deciding not only color but also keeps me on track from getting too immersed in detail.
Truly amazing, Barbara. This is SO much the northwest that I remember growing up. Your sense of color, shape, value, then detail is truly remarkable.
