this one actually took about 3 sessions (1.5 hr ea). some days you just don't feel it y'know.
threw in a little John Erickson on the lights. actually my favorite moments in this one are the mountains and the horizon behind them.
this is a little glimpse of my process. i don't quite have the hang of the paint and palette knife just yet, so i correct my mistakes digitally. it also gives me the versatility to try out a lot of stuff and have some fun with it. it's also a challenge to use the right brush so that the digital stuff won't draw a lot of attention to itself.
