Valley of the Shadow - a mixed media painting tutorial

Valley of the Shadow
Cyndi Lavin, 2017

I painted Valley of the Shadow a few weeks ago, before the weather turned a bit nicer here in New England.  It's not that my mood was exactly down... :-)

Anyway, I used white gesso tinted with Ultramarine blue and a drop of black gesso to pull streaks of Dioxazine purple and Ultramarine blue in two distinct sections.  I added razor lines of black ink and adjusted the colors as needed.

I used a foam brush on the sky with white gesso, Cerulean blue, and a few drops of Interference blue.  I used a very scraggly stiff brush to add white gesso and white ink along the "peaks".
