I still dont have the range of colors especially darks yet though! :evil: Does color seem alittle off?

Here is about 40 minutes into it just moving pigments around looking for that right feel, well that's it for tonight on this hog. Going back to painting right now. Have been back and forth all night one of those ones, but :evil: American Idol :evil: is on too :wink2: Yeah right!!!!!!!! Paint....

Hey Marc if you are out there I added those oaks that were there to fill the void I felt was lurking in the oil, and I will bring them down in brightness alittle.

A step foward or maybe back :D

Nice progress to date - what sort of pastels are you using? And whose make are the darks?
