This is an update on my “black canvas”  painting.  Over the past couple of weeks, mostly at home, I’ve been working on the hillside rocks, trying to get a 3-dimensional feel and get the cracks in the rocks to look sort of real.  In class last week teacher suggested that in order to better do that rock hillside, i take out  the big tree that used to be on the right side of the painting.  So I did — easy come, easy go, i guess. I’ll probably paint it back in later on.  In the meantime i added a couple of small trees to the top right end of the hillside.  Also began working on the background trees.  Also began adding highlights and shadows to the foreground trees.  I had planned yesterday to begin working on the water reflections.  But i forgot that a few days ago i added a layer of black paint to the bottom half of the painting; and it’s not dry yet.  So, later this week…..
