Today's subject was the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps. I tried to have fun with this one, I was most concerned with the outline being right and just kind of experimenting with the color. There's really much more blue in the photo than in this painting, but for some reason I couldn't wrap my head around painting the snow on the shadowed side of the mountain blue, so gray was what I used. I "washed" a little blue in at the end to make it look a little more true to life. Here's the original below.
I claim no ownership of this image, it was used as a reference for the study above.
That's all for today, check back again tomorrow for another update.
