12x16", acrylic on canvas. Started this one yesterday. Sky and water were blues, the mountain was a dark grayish. A quick way to unify a painting is to glaze the entire thing. In this case I tried yellow mixed with a fair amount of matte medium and water to make it transparent. Gives it a warm, sunny cast. With acrylics you hardly need to give your procedures a second thought since almost anything will turn out alright in a technical sense. Each layer bonds with the one below it to become all one sheet of plastic. Oils you have to know what you're doing.
This is the second stage. Next I'll paint on it to correct the drawing and values and maybe glaze it red, but don't hold me to that.
