Two Different Approaches, One Similar Result

Layering in multiple painting sessions? Or pushing wet paint around in minimal painting sessions? Does it matter?

Sloppy start
Texture on the distant forest. I just make this stuff up because real life is much too messy to duplicate.
Trying to be careful with color and light placement means paying attention to detail instead of saying, “Oh well, I’ll catch it on the next layer.”

Okay, let’s just git-‘er-dun.

Sunny Sequoias #35, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $60 + Calif. sales tax

And here is the one that I completed in 2 layers.

Sunny Sequoias #34, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, SOLD

No matter the method, the Sequoia Gigantea trees get painted convincingly on 6×6″ canvases, and eventually they will sell for $60 each (plus tax, because it cost a ton of money for California to pay for its wildfires.)

The other challenge is getting the photo/scan on screen to look the same as the painting looks in person. (WHERE ARE MY PEOPLE? I NEED PEOPLE FOR THIS!)
