I've been working on a couple of different things lately. I've stepped back into the chef panel, doing a little here and a little there. I put in a layer of color on the architectural elements and started the grape leaves creeping across the top. I added a couple of minor veggies and filled in the purple grape at the bottom.
My challenge here was the splash. I originally started using cerulean blue and was horrified - blech! Switching to ultramarine was much better...but, wait a minute! I didn't try pthalo. Might have to try that tomorrow.
Another thing I started was a study of a tree - the type of tree that will go in panels 1 and 2. This is especially challenging because it's a truck load of green, green, and more green. I have 3 different greens in the hillside and another 3 (or more) greens that make up the tree. I'm having to find ways to create contrast, even though in the reference pictures that I'm using, it does blend together at times. I need to work on it a bit and work out the kinks.

I think I have a studio guest at night. I'm not sure, but I think it might be this guy:
I've heard him rustling around here and there. I suppose we can share the space for now...so long as he doesn't start using my paints.

OOH this is sooo cool! He looks great. Very nice view.
Oh, it's extreme, alright! :-)
I like how the duck is right on the foreground and the dog's pose. Nice work!
Totally! Lots of action to this. Fun illustration.
