This week I began painting the clouds in the sky on each canvas. Wanting to having a consistent style, I planned out how I wanted the clouds to look throughout the painting. However, when I took to the canvas, the clouds went a different direction stylistically, and instead of having soft and wispy clouds, I opted for having round, thick clouds. At first I was hesitant about the look of the clouds, but I considered the fact that I’m going for a less realistic style and decided to continue doing the clouds the way I was. Just as I worried about, connecting the canvases to one another did present a challenge. I was able to line up the placement just fine, but I had to carefully adjust the clouds that crossed the canvas lines to match in colour. Next week I’ll be starting the main focus of the painting—the mountain. I’ll have to pay careful attention to the style and its flow throughout the three canvases for this part, as its the element that brings the whole mural together. I’ll start by planning how I want to unify the style next week and hopefully by the end of the week the mural will start looking truly connected.
