I actually took this out on our wet back deck to photograph when the rain let up. You get more accurate color photos on an over cast day or so they say. The great debate was on as to whether it was done. I decided it was.
Nature does not hurry and yet everything is accomplished. (Lao Tzu) is the theme of this painting.

The photo
Vlad’s value sketch.
My sketch. Did get tired of drawing a jillion little cows and all those legs. 😜 My dad used to joke to us on trips to count the cows by counting their legs and dividing by 4. That was the best part of drawing a jillion cows. Remembering the joke.
First wash. Cobalt cad yellow alizarin dioxzine cad orange yellow ochre
My cows are too light I think. We shall see.
Painting the background trees. Still using the same colors and burnt sienna and umber.
So I painted my cows a little darker grey. Cobalt yellow ochre and alizarin dioxzine mix. That mix will give you all kinds of grey.
Greens mixed with cad yellow cobalt and indigo. Oh and cobalt teal on water tubs.
Think this one is different but I can’t tell. Shadows under white spots? NOPE. Since these are Holstein cows painted lots and lots of grey and blackish spots made with that same grey mix. I think I added ultramarine and a dab of alizarin to mine.
Cows up close.
And adding in the foreground tree. Once again that green mix on the grey side.
Can I put my feet up now?!
