The Matterhorn


I recently spent 4 days in Zermatt, Switzerland and took a lot of photos so that I could paint one.  I'm happy with this painting although I need to do some work with water and reflections to really get a feel for how to paint it.  I think an initial wash would be good and then add local colours on top.  Not sure and haven't found any good YouTube videos about it.  I accidently added the local color first and tried to fix the water by adding the sky blue and blended and softened edges.  I suppose it looks alright anyway.  Learning to paint Boss Ross style and accept happy little mistakes.
