Horizons: Painting Paths
Painting Stopping Points - Painting Development
Unfinished Horizon - First Saved State
I have been talking about color-gradients - because that is what really got me excited about digital painting. With a little bit of color choosing assistance, the computer could produce a color gradient smoothly and to my liking.
On top of this, I was able to figure out a way to paint with these gradients and overlap their translucency. In the start above - these overlapping color gradients are particularly clear - and pleasing as they sit at this stage.

Essentially this is more of the same. I continued the overlapping, tightening up the distances, adding more passes, and mountains. It is becoming more interesting without losing the original course.
A piece can be stopped at many different stages or taken in many different directions. We always try to choose the best path - whether there is such a thing or not.
