Starting to place the reflections on Lake Emma - an exciting process as it changes the painting completely. The reflections on the water will be a challenge. I want to retain some softness here as to not take attention away from the intricately detailed mountain range above. In particular the shadow play on Mt Potts and snow detail on the surrounding peaks.
I've also added in the placement and base colours for the clouds. These also need to be very soft - achieved by using of all things make-up brushes which you can achieve very smooth blending with.

Middle Gorge Hut progressing well. Clouds in - making the sky a lot more interesting & tiny details being worked on. I've just added a few more details to the hut, with much more to come.
It's nice working on this painting, as it...
A sneak peek at a painting currently progressing well in the studio at the moment. Featuring one of the unique sun drenched fishing huts at Poolburn Dam, in Central Otago. Poolburn Dam is nestled in a vast rolling landscape of unusual rock formations and is a popular spot for trout fishermen to spend some time trying their luck.
The Lake Emma painting is evolving into a masterpiece of gorgeous colour and detail. At 1200 x 700mm the space in this new work is allowing me to incorporate some very intricate detail in the mountains, and will allow me to also paint the fine sun-lit tussocks in the foreground.
The colours in the new Lake Emma painting are an exquisite blend
