There comes a time in a painting where you really have to commit, where you take the plunge and say "I'm going in". It's time to start painting the mountain that is not in the sun in dark sepia mixed with a bit of cobalt blue. The paint has to be thick and dark to give a contrast to the bright areas. As I am painting this I know that I will soon need to work on the foreground, which is in the shadows and needs to be even darker. As mentioned earlier, Sepia is very much a staining pigment so is very unforgiving if you make a mistake.
In the background listening to Jim Cuddy, Skyscraper Soul. Love the peaks and valleys in this music.
