MOUNTAIN STORM III - STEP 1


Today I begin a 30" x 20" oil painting of a mountain storm. I have used a painting knife for most of the mountains and a thick impasto style. The stormy sky has been sprayed on with a Paasche VL airbrush. It's kind of nasty in the studio while I'm vaporizing oil paint with Japan drier, turpentine and linseed oil used as a thinning agent but it gives a nice effect.
