Conquest of Loneliness - Outreach

And this board is finished - 32"x40" pen and colored acrylic inks on acid-free foam board...  so now, on to doing the second board, "Inreach" of this diptych...

Conquest of Loneliness - 14

In progress, having shifted to cyan... just one more receding ridge after this and will be finished with this board...

Conquest of Loneliness - 13

On a roll - got in another of the receding ridges... now it is beginning to really look like something...

Conquest of Loneliness - 12

Progress, getting the middle area of this ridge down....

Conquest of Loneliness - 11

Beginning the first receding ridge - this is the first section, using diluted prussian blue [but not diluted enough, as the base of the rock pillar looks as if melded to it instead of being thrust out in front - will decide after the other sections are done whether to lighten it or to enhance the pillar shade side to bring it forth more]....

The whole of this board as of this moment...

Conquest of Loneliness - 9

 Finishing the tree, using sap green, emerald green, light green, process yellow, and antelope brown, I move on to the rock itself, using red earth...

And, for now at least, the rock is itself finished...  so can get on with doing the back ground receding ridges...

Conquest of Loneliness - 8

The grisaille of the rock pillar is done, and now am on the layering of colors, beginning with the vegetation..........
