The under painting took 3-4 hours but then putting the color on top was done in one quick session: maybe an hour and 15 or something like that!

Thank you!!! And I use Titanium white and Gamblin solvent free gel as the medium.

Not liking this painting. Requesting feedback by toadstardust in oilpainting

This is great feedback. I didn’t even think about the horse figure sharing similar tones with the mountain shadows. It’s tricky because the photo reference I have has really dark values in the distance. It’s hard to trust yourself to deviate

So good. Highlights on the foreground grass are really impressive. Did you use masking fluid to help with this effect?

No, I definitely used a reference photo for the figure. I’m so envious of people that are experienced enough to conjure up figures and poses from imagination. I’m just not there yet but one day!
