Painting after a long break.. it may be just 10 days but feels like I didn't touch my brush for a month.
Still not settled yet after relocating, and haven't found a proper place to sit and paint.
Today was an off day so I thought I need to paint something.
I found my A3 sheets of Arto paper which I had bought about 3 years back and felt it was perfect for the day. 2 years back A3 was too big for me, now I feels its more normal 鈽猴笍
Had this sheet stretched and ready last week but didn't get time to even sketch. So that saved some time.
This painting is based on a pic I found on Pinterest:

Sketch
Very rough sketch could have been better if I referred to the original pic more keenly. The size of the building became a little smaller and narrowed. Found that out only after painting 馃榿
Started painting with the sky with cobalt blue and manganese blue.
And then the mountain with mix of burnt sienna, purple ultramarine .. it could have been blended better . Looks patchy at some places.
Started working on the white building on the left and later the one on right. After reaching this far I could find out that I was getting better grip on it now.
The foliage and the stones to finish it off.
Final
A3 size Arto cold press 300 gsm cotton paper
Total time: 1hr
I hope to find a better permanent place before painting my next one 馃榿馃憤
