Just an update on the progress.

 Finally finished carving the groves into the rocky hills and added a layer of glue to the whole piece to help seal the work and give an easier painting surface while still allowing for the texture to show through.

 Covered in all the gaps between the layers of floral foam.

 Really pushed the foreground by cutting into the polystyrene to enhance the feel of going into the painting.

  Getting the base ready.Just used white polystyrene on a black coreboard base.

 added more white into the bottom of the sky lightning it up to give it more depth.

 Added some clouds, still not enirely happy with these but i think I'll come back to it later. Still look flat.

 I used some textured paint to give a very rocky texture to the background hills, this will also be applied to the foreground hills to provide a sense of unity and coherence to the piece.

 Added in some darker tones to clouds will go over these later.

 New workstation! Got a cheap Goldwell hair-dye station from a second hand place in Carterton and fitted it with some lights and a mirror.

 I used floral foam as the white polystyrene is harder to sculpt.

 After laying these out on the board i roughly cut the shape with a craftknife.

 Below: Showing progression of carving the groves into the floral foam.This will all be painted afterwards which will help cover up any gaps.

 With the last 2 images I am trying to show the depth of the work, this will be easier to see once it is all painted up.
