Refining front forests

Instead of going back into the shadow area, I worked on refining the foreground (or midground) forest. I touched the yellow green slope in the center as well, but didn't quite get the colors I wanted. I have to come back later.
Now I have to go to the pyramid shape mountain again. The ugly colors are now standing up.

Adjusting the major figures

Came back to this piece and adjusted the major figure shapes and painted over the old drawing lines so that I can see if new drawing is ok.
Those five heads of goats would define this painting.

Pulling the shadown part back...

The first update of the new year. I was trying to pull the shadow part back but I guess I did too much. I have to push them again tomorrow.
This year, I want to spend more time for painting than last year. That's my new year resolution.

Goats Painting

Next animal painting is about goats. I've intentionally chosen very busy composition. But will focus on edges of those key faces/heads to be standing out. I hope it would work...
16x19.

Came back to work on again

Wow, I haven't updated this for almost two months. Meanwhile I found the big flaw of the shadow shape and made the biggest shadow part even larger. To see the shapes in it, i make them lighter intentionally at this stage.
I touched water to make it a little choppy since it was actually. I'm still struggling to make the distant mountain and rocks hazier.

Finalizing the face

Worked on the face a couple of hours. Now I think I'm almost done with the face. I might come back and put the final touches around the left eye, but otherwise I can't improve it any more.
Also I put more colors/paints on frozen grasses. I don't think I would put more effort on the background any more. Instead, I'll knock down the reddish body and make it more bownish. It doesn't balance well with the face colors.
So this would be the last update of this painting before finishing it.

Blocking in darker part

I haven't updated this for one month but I've been working on slowly. Still blocking in darker shapes but already started showing interesting shapes in the shadow part of the mountains.
