STARTING SOMETHING NEW

 

Photo was taken on a short day trip to Yellow Springs, OH and the Glen Helen forest.  The red in the rocks is from the colorful minerals (iron + ?) flowing through the water.  

This first sketch is on student grade paper - just a study to see what I can put where and what I want to change in the final painting.  With landscapes, unless they are almost all imagination, I am going to do 3 versions with the 3rd being the final painting - maybe that will help me paint landscapes?  We’ll see.

Rhonda this looks like a good subject. I think landscapes are such a challenge. Know yours will be successful because you will keep on keeping on. :)!! Hugs

There are some lovely abstract shapes in this one. I look forward to seeing what you use and what you leave out. I find that the hardest bit.
