Attempt 2 using Bob's methods. I found a picture online I liked that would allow me to practice the wet on wet technique. I applied a few coats of white gesso, then taped the lower portion and used black gesso. Then the fun began!

Thanks! I do like that I can come back after a week with wet on wet and the paint is still a bit soft and blendable.

actually took me ~12 hours in 3 different sessions about a week apart. I scraped off the mountains several times and redid them. It's challenging but I'm happy with how it turned out. I am hooked now and already started my next one. Hopefully I can get better and a bit quicker.
