Step 1 Watchman Glow
Painting begins with my light and middle value washes. A lot of ground is covered in the first 30 minutes.
Step 2 Watchman Glow
I continue to build up my values getting darker as I go. I concentrate on the distant mountain for a moment, establishing a little detail there.
Step 3 Watchman Glow
Now I throw in my darkest darks in a couple of places to give me a gauge for the rest of the values.
Step 4 Watchman Glow
Now the painting starts to take shape with the addition of more darks and negative painting for the shrubbery.
Step 5 Watchman Glow
Now to balance my values, I move to the foreground and begin adding the darkest darks there.
Step 6 Watchman Glow
The finished painting, “Watchman Glow” 12 x 20 purchased by Ken Crandall.
