Almost Done |
The finishing highlights really pulled the picture together. I started with the bright white sky, spilling over the rail and trees, into fluorescent greens and blues in the treetops. For the sun’s reflections off the horizontal bridge railings, I realized that the colors underneath would darken and muddy the highlights. I had to first put on a layer of pure white paint (see the close-up of my painting below); then the highlight colors came out very bright and sharp.

wow, looks like real wood.
Nice shading on the angled piece where the sun hits it.
