STAGE 11 FINISHING TOUCHES AND FINAL RESULT
I feel the painting has captured the mood of the place. It’s time to analyse the painting and think of ways to improve the result. I decided
to splatter some Chinese white to the foreground hill to create some texture. Finally, I decided to add some smoke on the chimneys of the
background houses with some left over Chinese whites. The main reason for this is that it acts as a visual connection to the background, and also
adds some vertical dynamics to otherwise a large area of horizontal dominance in the background.
