Day 2 on "How Small We Are"

Worked on building up the sky and clouds today. I have to remind myself to step back more often to view the overall painting. The first time I painted in the darker values on the clouds they were a little too dark and I had to lighten them up a little. Clouds need to be soft around the edges and blended. So, it's important to work the whole sky together while the acrylic is still wet. My paints were better today. I also painted in the first layer of color on the houses and landscape. The paint slides around a lot on the Ampersand board, so it needs at least two layers for good coverage. Maybe one more day before this one's done.
