Today I took my first genuine shot at environment and landscape painting.. ish. Today I was given the challenge of creating an environment, a Highland Meadow. Learned from my lesson yesterday by actually doing thumbnails this time around. Also decided to keep it purely grey scale as to continue working on my values. I know where I want to go with them, but can't quite nail it. I've got a list of master studies for later tonight that may help. For now, here are the thumbs and rough of the Highland Meadow. Both took about an hour each.

| Thumbnails. Kept the values subtle intentionally. |

| Rough of 2nd Thumb. Light source was to be on left side. Added lighter and darker colors, also played with edges. |
Tonight I have several master studies I plan on completing, and in various subjects as well ranging from people, environments and creatures. Each should only take about 15 minutes, or at least that's the time I'm allotting to each.
