Artist's Comments

Number four on line.
Had a couple of days off but working hard.
Put a lot of foliage in trying to set the atmosphere and mood, I want to try and get the viewer to feel like a bird and be in under the trees canopy and a little bit of vertigo.
Still working darker than I want and trying to get the feeling of how the light will come down through the branches which will be the last part of the painting.
If you paint in to higher key then you lack the contrast to get white to look brighter than it really is, which is as bright as a painter can get and I will not be using straight white.
Any questions please ask.

Really starting to come along now. Love the addition of all the scattered shadows. Really adds quite a lot to the atmosphere. Tower is looking great. Branches are also looking great. Not much left to go, looking forward to seeing the final stages. :)

Ah this is just what I needed to hear. I truly am appreciating your sharing your work and knowledge. I always struggled to get those highlights to stand out and now I know why. so a big hug and a thankyou from me. And I like the way you suggest the bird's etye view and the vertigo!

The stone age did not finish because they ran out of stones, something better came along.
