I continue to paint the elements that touch the sky, surrounding
them with
an approximation of the color that the final sky will be while keeping in
mind
the color of the prevailing light.
The land is simplified from my reference and softened to
keep it from
competing with the foreground figure. I lighten the entire area to reduce
value contrast that would draw undue attention, while accentuating
the feel of the warm lights and cool shadows. Nonetheless, I keep
the colors greyed, limiting their chromatic intensity to compensate for
the effects of atmospheric perspective.
