It looks like by the end of the week we might have al the mountains blocked in with a good amount of form so they won't look so flat. I do like the postery graphic patterns which are developing though. They show good gestault, which means that the positive and negative shapes ( patterns ) balance very well together. Since the mural as a whole looks pretty solid in it's simplified graphically abstract forms, this is a good sign that the scene will hold together well to a more detailed finish. In this project, I plan to keep the details simplified. Mood quality and nailing the colors so they look atmospheric, is the most important here.
As long as I don't have too many interruptions this week, I think it is possible to have some consistent identifiable form on all the mountains and in the foreground shapes by the weeks end. We'll see how it goes.

I'm not really a wildlife painter, yet I feel pretty good about how this bull elk turned out.
