Description
After letting that white paint dry for weeks I was finally able to get it scanned and finish the last of the tutorial. The finished painting is called Widow's Walk.

After the 4th working session it was still too vertical, too much the same color and too much the same texture and shape on the rocks. It needed vitality and energy and to have more movement. I jumped in and hacked out some rock, chisled other to have flatter surfaces and sharger edges and changed the colors on some.

I can't tell you how I did it step by step, except that I used the same techniques of laying down opaque and transparent and semi transparent glazes as in the 1st 4 tutorials, and the same colors except that I added Van Dyke Brown and Permanent Green and Thalo Green. I could not think my way through this one but went on instinct. It took days working 2-4 hours at a time. Some artists may be able to logically work through their entire painting, but frequently I cannot. I am including links to the first 4 sessions for anyone who would like to look at them again.
