Cosechando

This is almost identical but for a few details in the clothes and corn.  I need to finish it by Wednesday to be framed so if you have any thoughts, they would be really helpful now.  Thanks.

Cosechando

David took the girls to the zocalo while I painted.  I am still trying to add detail to the landscape and the women.  And get the contrast right without loosing too much color on their clothes.

Harvesters 2

I put all the colors in and now I am trying to correct them and add detail.

Harvesters

I did the drawing from the sketch and then started putting in the colors.

Cloud over Bear Mountain

Another small study - I'm trying to keep my colors clear since I tend to muddy them so often!

Moon Rise Sunset

A small study in warm and cools 6 x 8.

Gleaners

Using my small sketch and the union jack I drew out the "Gleaners".  I will give it more detail before starting to add paint.

Sky

This morning I saw a painting with a sky I really loved so I decided to try an early morning yellow sky.  The yellow does not come across in the photograph very well.  I also muted the green field in the background to match the time of year.  It was too green.

Putting aside

I am going to put this one aside and work on the women "gleaning" and then to return to this to finish it.  

Man and ground

Still trying to give detail to the face and ground as well as the right values.
