Here is a preview of a drawing I have been working on for a future painting. I still have some things to work out before moving on to the painting stage. I haven’t decided if I want to have that lantern lit or not on the front of the canoe. Having a lit lantern can bring up some complicated reflection challenges. Initially, I planned on a foggy scene with the bear “barely” visible and put more emphases on the mountain man. Either way I decide to do it, there will be a big difference in the overall color scheme.
I’m not sure if you can see it or not but I drew the mountain man and canoe on a separate piece of paper. This way it allows me to move it around to find the best placement for the composition. I haven’t decided to paint it on canvas or hardboard panel.
