WIP 7 - Started adding more definition to the background/moutain, buildings, rocks and to the umbrellas - still too dark.

Monterosso Painting - WIP 5
Hi everyone, Sorry, I have been behind with my Monterosso painting. I have been busy some other marketing projects - I will fill you in on later.
I finally had some time to work on it my painting. Progressed well today. I am seeing it come together at this stage. I added more colours to the foliage and moutains, added more colours and depth to the buildings and did some modeling work. Also adjusted the sand colour. I need to do more work on my umbrellas, water and the buidlings overall. I have a good 15-18 hours left. I am hoping to wrap things up this week. Stay tuned! Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead! Cheers

Monterosso WIP Continues
Hi Everyone, Have been working on my new Monterosso painting. I would have liked to have been more advanced with the painting, but I have been busy with some other projects. In the mean time, I have started blocking in quite a bit of colour, still need to do more and a second/third coat in some places before I begin my modeling/definition work.
Started blocking in some colour, grey tones and some definition to the big rock.
Enjoying the painting...More colour added, and some more definition on the big rock. Decided to remove the awkward beach chairs in the comp's foreground - not really necessary in the composition. Hope to get lots more done tomorrow and more hopefully this week. Also busy doing marketing work and planning a birthday dinner/weekend for my father in law.
Blocked in some more colour here and there.
Would have like to be more advanced then this right now. Was only able to bock in a bit more colour today and a second/third coat on the buildings, sand. Had to also give a second coat to the umbrellas..Pic looks a little dark now..but they will be warmed up and given some green stripes...Staying playing with their shapes. They will be like the umbrellas in my ref pic/the typical Italian Riviera ones
