The last three weeks—one of which was spring break—I completed the mountain portion of the mural. I was surprised by how much I liked the style that came out of it, as I wasn’t entirely sure the last time I left off what how I wanted the mountains to look and how I was going to achieve the style I decided on. I ended up simply doing what felt best until I liked it, then using the techniques to carry the style through out. I ended up with a style that was somewhat abstract, blending in some places, with some rough strokes that stand out for emphasis. It was difficult matching colours between paintings, but overall the mountains went smoothly and turned out well with a style that I’m really pleased with. Next, I’m working on the clouds above the field, and I have to decide if I want to make them the same round and fluffy clouds as the ones in the sky, or if I want to make them more wispy. If I make them wispy I’ll have to figure out how to paint them stylistically, so I’ll likely start with some digital testing to see what might look good. After that I’ll be doing the undercoat for the field and planning how I want it to look digitally.
