 Tetons (in progress 3)
Here I have basically finished the mountains and have started adding more color and detail to the trees. I don't want to make them TOO detailed so as not to detract from the mountains. Right now the trees in the foreground are very warm shades of green. I may tone that down after I get everything else in. I've also added more color to the water and reflections.
I normally don't blend the pastels after I have put them down, but here I have blended the blues in the sky (with my fingers) to achieve the gradated color. I also took a kneaded eraser and just barely touched upon and softened the edges of the big horizontal shadow of a cloud on the mountains.
More tomorrow!
