Crescent Bay

I quickly established the highlights and then I went directly to the shadows.  I went from the lightest points in the painting to the darkest paintings.
Once I found the lightest and darkest parts of the painting, I made adjustments towards the middle.  Usually I would move in one direction.  I would move from lightest to darkest or darkest to lightest.  Because of the extreme amount of detail in the cliffs, I had to adopt a different approach.  

From this point in the painting it was all about making adjustments between the shadows and the highlights to insure everything was balanced.
