Twilight Time, Step 4

The burnt umber underpainting

After the line drawing, I then proceeded to do a value painting in burnt umber to use as a basis for my painting.  This helps me a lot because at this point I can see the values and the composition of the painting without investing a whole lot of time. It tells me everything I need to know.  

Then I roughed in the sky following the previous sky photo. I avoided the reflections from the trees and buildings as I will painting them last...after everything else is in it's place and I know what needs reflections and where.
