I'm making slow progress but got a good bit accomplished this morning. Thanks to free gift card from Jerry's Artarama for $50 I ordered some Artisan Water-Mixable Oil Color that I have been wanting to try out. The gift card was a real surprise, so thank you to the people at Jerry's Artarama! They should be here next week so that is what I will be using for my final layers.
Here is the painting as it sits on my easel right now.
As always to see more of my work check out my website where you can order Fine Art Prints.
To see step by step how I got to this point read on after the break.
Here I added a little more detail to the cowboy and the horse.
I also changed up the shape of the hills in the background a little.
Then I applied a wash of white over the background to tone the color down a little.
I used a glazing medium to keep it workable.
Next a wash of light blue over the background to make it
move back and to bring the cowboy forward.
With all that blue in the background I decided to really punch up the orange in the horse to make it the main focus of the painting. I also added a little more detail to the cowboy.
I punched up the colors in the foreground as well.
