Started casting rock faces for my extension since I could not stand my foam rock sculpting results. Takes far less time and looks way better to make plaster casts. So meanwhile I decided to throw some paint on the backdrop to "see" what it wants to be.
The paint job is just a "what if". Looking at this section and just to the right, I need to add distant mountains to balance the nearer mountain to the right of this view. I'll also have to think about how I will bring the sky blue to come around to that side. This blue is way way too blue to the eye, so the whole section needs a cover up prime and repaint. The horizontal joint seams were intentionally left unsanded and rather rough. Really interesting how the "texture" shows up as clouds - thought it might. a lot of work to do. Thinking the trees behind the water need to be taller (closer perspective). The degree of perspective angle looks too severe. Probably just above the roof line with the mountain behind.
