May - underpainting in acrylic yellow red purple, draw in black

Using a MIke Svob technique to painting.  I actually started this lesson in December, months before I attended the workshop with Mike.
The drawing of the painting will become part of the finished painting as oil paint will not merge
The scene is a close up of a mountains snowy glacier.
