Odgen dunes-late afternoon step 3 11x14 oil on canvas



 Typically I will work the sky and background first and then the midground-finally finishing up on the foreground-back to front.  In water paintings that seems to work best for me-however there are other paintings where I might do the midground to foreground, leaving the background to last. Often the focal point is in the midground-and if I really want to emphasize that I will do that first and move from there. In a painting that will be posted next week that was my technique-and I will point it out during the comments as well.
