Lots coming together. It took a couple days to detail the sky. Last time, I had used a combo of Cerulean and white for the clouds (see photo in last post). But, the clouds were too "blue." Afterwards, I went in with a fairly dry brush and added white on it's own to poof the clouds.
Doing the sky in the last couple panels took a while because I had already brought the figures and grape clusters to a greater degree of completion. Since I really don't want to rework them, I needed to be extra careful going around them.
I also opted to not put clouds behind the figures themselves. There's already a lot going on in that panel and it would be too busy overall.
After the sky, I went back over the mountains. It's time for the camera to do it's talking - to make clear any problems (as it always does). Of course, they are not "done." There will be layers of shrubbery, trees, and flowers that are so common to the Santa Maria hillsides. But, those are a top layer and will happen after the lower layers are completed.
