Black Star Ranch

I went after the outline of the hills first to make sure I got in what I wanted from a compositional standpoint.  I kept looking for cloud shapes as I worked on the detail of the hills.  When I saw some I liked I quickly caught them and put them down.  I then finished the rough detail of the shapes of the hills.

I then started to establish some of the lighter values.  After taking a look at the progression of this painting I would change the clouds on the right hand side and the middle where the blue of the sky is showing.  When I initially drew them in, they were not nearly as symmetrical.
