Cape Disappointment Lighthouse 5

Cape Disap 08To finish up this commission, my approach is to systematically address any blaring problems as I see them. From this point on, I typically add details to the most blaring areas first then proceed onto the next blaring area.

Cape Disap 09The first areas catching my attention are the two areas on the cliff where the mastic was applied. They are way too bright and have the wrong shapes. I apply a light wash of earth tones to both of those areas to bring both of their values more into line. Okay, now they seem less blaring.

Now, I carefully check and add shapes and colors as I see them from my reference images beginning with the middle areas and working my way out to the edges.
