Work in progress

I've been working on this 16x20 oil panting for over a week. My time on it has been interrupted and I'm itching to get back to it. As you can see from the photo I posted I put a cad red light underpainting on the canvas. I choose this rich warm color to enhance the over all tonal range of this painting. If you look closely you will see this color in the sky, mountains, buildings, water and soon the boats. I think the underpainting is important for giving the finished painting a nice balance.

Stay tuned for the finished work.
