Misty Mountain

One of my New Year's goals was to do at least one painting each week. The painting below was the one for this weekend. I followed along with a Wilson Bickford DVD lesson. It used only 4 oil paint colors; Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Van Dyke Brown, and just a smidge of Cadmium Yellow Hue. The mountains are done with a painting knife while the rest was done with a 2" scenery brush, a fan brush, and a script liner for some of the small detail and signature. I also used a mop brush to smooth out some of the fine blending. Base prep was Fast Flo White. This was my first attempt at a mountain scene. The knife work is a new technique and one I need to practice.
