Back to Painting, Part1

With all the digital art I've been immersed in, I've been missing out on some of the foundations arts. Some months ago I came across an image I particularly loved of some terraced rice paddies during sunset. I tweaked it and played with angles and color until it looked like an entirely different beast, and I liked the results so much I began working on a canvas. Trouble is it is complicated enough that just doing the canvas drawing took "weeks", and since I only worked on it ever couple of days, that really has been months.

Now I'm finally getting to the actual painting in acrylic, and it's going surprisingly well considering how long it's been since I last painted. The only hitch is I'm painting at work, so I need to work quickly and efficiently between the phone calls. Acrylic dries FAST so this works out well anyway.

I wanted to keep a collection of the step-by-step photos for once (in fact I'm mad at myself for not taking a pic of just the drawing), so I'll post them here along the way.
