Here's the process that I used for this painting: I first began by texturing the surface of the canvas with modeling paste and a palette knife. Next I used a large round brush and began layering various yellows into the upper part of the canvas. A palette knife was used to knock in the darker colors on the left side. I then felt like there were too many hard edges and so used a stiff brush and went in and blended and softened up edges. The whites in the middle were a mixture of colors I was using plus white. The challenge came in finishing this painting as I left it at this stage for several days and then came in to work the bottom right side, matching it up to the left. I began again with the top right hand color, with another layering of the yellows and whites and worked down. Once again, I used a palette knife for the blues, blending and softening the hard edges into the background. Also, took some of these over into the left side. The very last thing that I did (and you might have to click on image to get a close up) was I added some vertical lines.
