Night sky over the mountains

Nivek1971 11 Feb 2023

If there's one thing ( and there's many) I wish I didn't struggle with its mountains, I never feel happy about any I have painted. This one I tried a completely new idea. This was an old and now dry canvas where I'd done some mountains but hated them, today I painted the sky over them, scraped the paint off in a mountain shape the enhanced the light and dark areas with snow colours and shadows. Better but not great. Oil on 12x10" canvas

The mountains are very moody in this painting and have a majestic subtle presence. I like these mountains. :)

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Hey niv , i think Mountains are still a challenge for everyone . If you paint the Mountain base colour put some drops of Medium de Harlem in it . Makes its dry faster . Wait 30/40 min .and put your Snow on it carefully .Give it a try๐Ÿ˜Ž

Thanks Dirk ๐Ÿ‘

Donโ€™t worry nivek. I also always feel bad about them๐Ÿ˜€ you did a great job with them and the whole picture.
