Mt. Whitney
23 August, 2007 Filed in: Landscapes
This is a painting I did outdoors while my husband was climbing Mt. Whitney last weekend:
I greatly exaggerated the color of the rocks to contrast with the blue of the sky. To make the shadows between the rocks, I used a glaze of Payne's Grey blended with glazing medium. Payne's Grey is a favorite of mine for making shadows. It is actually a blend of black and UItramarine Blue, the primary color I use for skies.
