Keep it up .

Thank you :)

Thank you, Native & AngelBlue!!

I re-did the roof again, I think the 5th time, hihi. I wasn't happy with it, then finally found the photo of the scene -the temple part that is. That helped tremendously as I finally saw what it was I had to paint and where I had gone wrong.

The roof is now correct, finally!!! Finished the top right corner, began with the tree. That isn't finished. Also did the temple building to the right of the tree. Have to do a bit of work there still.
But finally getting somewhere! That roof ate up a lot of time, re-doing it, incl painting the lines again and again, pfffff...

And the carvings are now in those niches on the side of the temple wall :)

As it is I'm struggling with the colour for the tree. Some photos show it pale brown, sometimes it looks greenish in others more yellow/golden. I'll work it out.

Looking good .

Thank you!
Redoing that roof -again- was definitely worth it!

Would you be interested in a commission piece? Do you have time?

Will email later with more details.

Stormy!! Feel free to mail me!



OT - An update now that I have reworked the tree. Now the building it's hugging is showing much better in between the roots.
It needs to be finished off, more roots, and the perspective of the building to the right is off which really annoys me. But I'll get it right, plus when the roots are painted in they will help cover it up as well :)

But at least I'm rid of that odd upside down bell-shaped tree. And I finished the windows.

Cannot paint for long at the mo because of my neck...

Looking good. Keep up the good work .

Thank you, Julie!

An update after a bit of work this afternoon :)
The roots are now in proper place and right size. Will do a bit more work on shading & highlights and finishing lines of the wall in between.
I also changed the perspective of that part of the temple.

Can't edit previous post anymore, but I do wish to post this. No more painting today though, it's gone 8.30, time watch a series.
But I'm really happy with how it looks now that I've added shading around the tree on the building.
And of course the steps. But mostly the shading that now gives much more depth and 3D.

Keep up the good work .

Thank you so much, Julie!

I did some finishing touches on the tree -will do a bit more on that regardless- but for today I had fun beginning with the foreground!

Looking good . Keep up the good work .

Thank you, Julie!


OT
Did more work yesterday. First finished the brownish rock & ground around it in the middle. Growth on the rock and added more detail to the greenery on the ground AND I put a background tree in between that rock and the temple.

Some grass here and there, background for plants along the edge of the path. That needs more work, but I wasn't in the mood for that.
I could NOT wait to start with the broken off head of a statue in the foreground!
It's far from finished, but in the end I sat painting in almost complete darkness while painting with black and grey shades, haha. Not very handy!
It was dinner time as well, so I decided to clean up.

Nevertheless very happy with how it's coming along! Tomorrow's another day :)

So much left to be done as this isn't even the last thing that will show up on the canvas, hihi. And then there's a ton of detail I have yet to finish off. But at least that 'island' with brownish rock is finished now.




Close up of the 'island' with the work I did there. You can compare with the last photo to see the difference :)

Looking good so keep it up .

Thank you!

Ended with this tonight :)

Good painting .

Thank you so much, Julie!
Currently working on another addition to it, will update when it's done :)

Another piece done! Yeehaaa!! I'm very happy with it.

Nice painting and I love the leopard you added .
