Super Update ,Bob. Top . How did you do it?πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ”ͺ

Awesome!

@Dirk - I made a glaze of ultramarine blue + Payne's Gray with a lot of Liquin. I brushed over the entire top of the painting including the mountains. Then, I used baby wipes to remove the glaze from the moon and where the light hits the mountains. For the foreground, I created another glaze using Hooker's Green + Zinc White with a lot of Liquin. I glazed over grass and the gophers and then came back with the baby wipes and removed the glaze from where the light hits the gophers. I think popped in some more greenish grasses where it was overly yellow.

@Dirk - I forgot that I used my finger to put some Indian yellow very lightly into the moon. Just enough to slightly warm it.

@Carolyn - Thank you!

Worth the effort!

Was worth it, top result πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ”ͺ
