I forgot to photograph this painting the 2 times I worked on it before this - sorry!
First I sketched it in, much like I did the others. The second time I added the darks, especially the brown that the the kneeling person is wearing. But it wasn't very dark. So, I got the notion to lighten the sky to make the darks darker. It worked. Then I brought some of the extra sky paint onto Christ's robe. The distant mountain needed to be more like the sky, so I added some blue to it and spread some of the extra blue around the bottom too, for balance.
Next time, the mountain needs to be even lighter.
I'm liking it so far!
I've actually worked on this several times without posting - sorry! It's coming along.
Again, I worked on this several times. Not sure it is done yet, but it's close! The part that made it pop was to put yellow/orange on the Christ's sleeve.
