Making Progress (on the Morro Bay Collage)...

I have now painted the essential elements for the Morro Bay Collage…

- the water/land/sky
- the Egret

- the Surfer
- Morro Rock (& surfboard)
- the Woody
- the stacks
- and the Sea Otter

Each element is painted on a separate layer, so essentially they can be moved around prior to finalizing the painting.

In their current state, each element looks rather cartoony. The next step is to determine the direction of the light and start defining the elements – in other words, add highlights, shadows and detail.

This is where the fun begins! I’m off to paint some more, so I’ll check back with you later!

Todays thought, “Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.”
