The Plan


I promised to post the sketch for this painting. This is done in Conte' crayon of which I just have a basic set of 5 or 6 colors so the colors are more of just a blocking tool here. And when I transferred it to the canvas I moved it to the right about an inch plus so there is more arch wall on the left and less on the right.

I have decided to post progress photos of this painting if I don't ruin it so stay tuned. At this point I have masked off the black and the center so that I can pour the red canyon walls.

  2. Just did my two big pours for the arch and hopefully will post a progress photo tomorrow on that. Coming along nicely at the moment. Black shadows next after cliffs are thoroughly dry.
