7th ArtstyleArt, Fauvism + Landscape: Let me show you the process of this painting by @errymil

"Cathedral Rock" (20 x 24inch oil on canvas with embossed flower of life)

Another sleepless night for me, but all worth it as i have been wanting to paint this photograph that we took at Sedona Arizona

this was a photograph taken at Catheral Rock, Sedona AZ

Here is my step by step in this painting:

Everything starts with the Flower of life, this is my original template that i made when i began painting and use it with every painting, this is the soul of my painting
then i make the background sky, using indian yellow, yellow ochre, alizarin crimson and van dyk brown, using only i brush.

Then i use black for the background of the trees, and sap green for the grass and outline the Catheral rock
i used burned sienna for the background of the Red rocks
used black to darken all the shadows on the Catheral rock and i also paintined the sky with a spiral pattern, representing the Vortex energy that was present in Catheral rock
finished the rest with sap green, cadmium yellow and titanium white, the consulted my wife at 3am to critic my painting, and she was not satisfied with the trees, so i had to redo it again and painting it back to ivory black.

And there you go committed and finished, i love this painting, i had to make it bigger as i know that i will be keeping this as my masterpiece

Thank you so much for viewing my art
