Here are those requested close-ups. Add you can see, zoomed in you can tell how loose and nondescript the actual marks are.

The update. I mostly worked on the middle third of this painting. The illusion of intricate detail was super satisfying to create. I'll share some close up brushwork later to show you what I mean

The bottom half of this painting was some most fun I've had painting in a while

The top 3rd is basically finished. This painting illustrates why I think strong establishments are so important. It just makes the finish that much easier. Plus it's more fun

Today's work on the waterfall. Still needs another pass, but I think the next picture I will share of it will be in its frame #yosemite #bridalveilfalls

That's a cool idea! Maybe I'll try it sometime. Would have to figure out how to do that in a way that works with the frame

Getting close to done. Really didn't like how the gold looked on the frame so I did a rub of oil paint on it. Will probably do a second pass on the frame

Sometimes the block ins take a while but that's ok. It's better to set up the painting for success in the early stages to make the finishing stages way easier

I don't think I've ever tried to paint a waterfall at this size and scale before, but I have the perfect frame for it

Sometimes the block-ins take hours, but they are worth it
