The Beginning Sketch This is the beginning stage for Oxtongue Rapids. It starts with a photo (or many photos) of the scene to be painted. The main areas of the subject are sketched on the canvas with charcoal, then those lines are carefully painted over. When that paint is dry, all traces of the charcoal are wiped away. |

Adding the Base Colours Prominent trees are left unpainted until later. the background area is painted with a mixture of prussian blue, alizarin crimson, and lamp black. The water is also treated the same, but has three coats of prussian blue added (with drying periods in between). This will prepare the water for the depth effect to give the water it's "flowing" appearance. The rocks in the foreground are simply painted with payne's grey and titanium white to separate them for later stages. |
