Filling Background

Spent some days to fill background to be closer to the final values&colors. After the effort I probably won't have to touch the area until the end. Pretty much done.

Then started refilling the rocky middleground. I should have done this at the beginning because I think that's one of reasons I couldn't build up context around the cubs. I'll push values in the area a little more to darker and lighter before coming back to the main subject. Now I can see much more how the final painting would look like.
