Cascade step 09

Step 09: Acrylics complete

It's been awhile...  After a fairly lazy summer work came back in full-swing with September.  Anyways, here's an update!


Above is the finished underpainting.  It's not perfect, but it's close enough that I feel confident moving into oils (and color) at this point.  In general I tend to get dark really fast when painting, so a big challenge with this was keep everything light enough for glazing over the top later.  That bottom-right corner came out darker than I would have liked though.  Also, please forgive the distorted photo, it's pretty wonky in places.

    GAH! I'm wishing more and more that I didn't opt out this year. I won't be making that mistake next year though, so hopefully I'll get to see something even better from you then ;)
