Waterfall


Painting Notes:
  1. Painted w/ photoshop.
  2. Blocked in basic composition from a small thumbnail drawing from my sketchbook.
  3. Using the lasso tool, pulled in some textures of rocks from photos.
  4. Selected areas of the image with wand and adjusted with levels to define planes.
  5. In the middle of painting, took a break and looked at flickr images of fern trees, rocks and waterfalls. (The variations in nature make me feel so damn uncreative.)
  6. Trying to vary brush widths.
  7. Flipping canvas horizontally multiple times.
