still painting the giant commission

I continue to build depth and blend and soften with thin washes. This photo shows the eight foot panels on the ground and the four foot panels on the wall with the squares directly on top of them. It is a bit distorted, but I can only lay out a few at a time and this is the closest I can get to showing how it will be displayed until the painting has been hung. Since I took this photo, I have added a very subtle iridescence to the vertical masses. These are only easily seen on the dark brown in this photo, but are scattered across the lower portion of all the eight foot panels. I have done much blending and softening of these areas and softened the limbs and upper portions. I have begun painting the edges raw umber. There will be more glazing and a varnish before I install the hanging hardware and sign this painting. I’m looking forward to seeing it after it has been installed and I’m excited about how it will work in the space.
