Turbulent Waters V Intermediate

Oil

10x16

Some of the pencil marks from the armature are visible at this stage. Initially, I pencilled in a Golden Spiral and Basic Dynamic Symmetry Armature on the 10x16 panel . I then did a value study of the scene, using a small rectangle with the same proportion as the 10x16. I made sure that rocks lay along the spiral leading up to the top of the water fall which I intended to use as the focal point. Then I marked off the horizon line (across the river) using a 'Squeegee" along an implied horizontal line through intersection points of the grid/armature. With a Catalyst wedge I painted the dark parts of the rocks.
