This painting is a very loose abstraction of a rock face, valley floor, and distant water. I used Thalo yellow-green, cerulean blue, new gamboge, alizarin crimson, and raw sienna. I applied the paint in rapid sequential washes again not letting the paper dry. I like to try and get comfortable working on damp paper. I scraped the highlights on the cliff face just after the paper had lost its sheen, using a little scraping tool called a super scraper. 
15 x 22 arches cold pressed sorry for the grey color lights were not perfect.
loose washes of cerulean blue, thalo yellow green, and new gamboge applied with a 1.5 inch skyflow brush
I over painted darker valued washes over top of the original colors. The brown color is Alizirin and New Gamboge, not burnt sienna. I like its richness.
I scraped the highlights giving the painting a nice feeling of cliffs rocks and movement in the yellow field. I think this was a fun exercise and again just what I want to do to get back in the saddle.

This makes me want to run to the studio and paint! Love the 90 days–wow–what a commitment!!!
Don’t see how anyone could fail to be motivated to paint after seeing what you’ve done in the first 3 days! Got some catching up to do already!
