More Cows Added to the Herd

Yesterday added one buff bringing up the rear and one far right; this manuever will anchor the animals compositionally and provide balance. Also reworked the main bull's head. Overall, I softened edges and used more Coastal Fog for snow effects and splattering. For the top sky area I ran a glaze of raw sienna and CF; thinly mixed these 2 opaques do a wonderful atmospheric job.

Buffs in Snow Challenge

14 x 22.5 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper, right at 2 hours. I used American Journey opaques: Coastal Fog, Coffee with Cream, Sepia, Brown Derby, Midnight Blue, Copper Kettle.
Let's see if the rest of you will take up the 2 hour challenge of painting bison in the snow. Come on, you have all weekend!
