McKinley Mountain in acrylic

 

Here's Mt. McKinley with the trees added.  I don't know if I'm happy with the shading on the lower mountains, but I've tried to correct it and it just doesn't fit, so I'll leave it for now.   Bob Ross now puts in a bunch of trees so I'll have to practice trees so I don't ruin this.  I finally got the shading thing he does now with the dry paintbrush.  For a beginner, this works a lot better in acrylic than oils - the brushes are easier to clean.  

After a week, my oil canvas is dry so I can start the clouds! 

First attempt at trees in acrylic.

McKinley in oil

Went back to oils.  First layer ... going to let things dry in between coats.

October 15th - got the clouds on.  Had to go back over in blue as there was no action.

Mount McKinley

Today I tried Bob Ross's Mount McKinley located here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RInDWhYceLU .  What I decided as the last painting turned out a little muddy, was to try to let the layers dry in between.  I also moved back to acrylic paints - although I don't like the texture as much as oils they are easier to clean.

Here's stage one:

Note that in order not to ruin every glass in the house cleaning brushes, I have been picking up the glasses in the street left over from revelers the night before.  Of course, when I started this there was not a glass to be found, but I finally got a Bulmer's:
