It's always interesting to see the processes other artists use. They're always so different than my own process. I see similarities across the spectrum but everyone has their own unique touch. I enjoy it when artists give a glimpse behind their process. This has helped me improve my own skills over the years without having to take classes on the subject. I've seen how others work and adapted some techniques to my own skill set.
I can't quite tell, did you work mostly in black and white until the end when you started refining everything? Or are the in progress screens just in black and white to distinguish them from the final product?

First. Origninally I didn't plan on showing the process for this particular painting, but just happened to have 3 random earlier versions in my files, so step #1,#2 and #3 are really close to each-other timewise, while there is a big gap from 3 to 4. My Ta-Koro process is a lot more even in time-jumps(I save a lot of this in my scraps).
but YES. My landscapes are in grey-scale a long way into the process, and there are two reasons for this:
The First one is that values, light vs dark, are the most important aspect of a paintings readability. and keeping stuff in grey-scale lets you focus 100 % on values. This ensures that your image is readable no matter what colours you put on top.
The second reason is that I am colour-blind so I am not really good at picking initial colours anyway

I learn something new every day! That's something I hadn't been exposed to before, interesting.
