Next I am going to paint a landscape scene of Kauai. Aloha! Stay tuned...
Today I started this ginormous painting. (6ft * 3 ft) I think I'm gonna need more paint!
Today I began painting in the basic shapes of everything.
I added the mountains today!
Today I added more of the dirt color in the foreground and also I began the water.
Today I started working on the rocks and the black sand beach.
Today I worked on the white in the water.
Today I added more contrast to the green shadowy hill on the left and I also started adding some of the rocks in the sandstone on the left. I like their organic abstract shapes!
Today I added more of the rocks in the sandstone.
I made more shadows on the rocks on the left today.
I'm still working on the left side of the painting. I added a lot of sand and shading to the rocks.
I changed the bushes in the foreground.
I added some grass behind the front bushes.
I started working on the cliff in the background. I was thinking about how red violet and yellow green are complementary colors. Hmmm.... I also added some orangey pink to the dirt areas in the middle.

I worked on the clouds more today. I still don't love them yet so I will be adding more to them soon. I also added more white to the water which ended up being a good move I think.
