This is Terrific work! I love all the roughness. Really reads well.

Superb painting Federico .

Superb,the texture of the mountain is really good.

Powerfully strong rocks, very good Federico

A stunning image.

Thank you very much for your comments! I enjoyed this mountain

I love it, well done.

Did you use the Andrew Tischler dagger brushes, made for him by Rosemary & Co, I wonder? While I have many brushes, I've been tempted in their direction - and I always like to yield to temptation when I can without doing myself a nasty injury. This is another fine painting of this majestic mountain, to which you've done full justice.

Fantastic! And a great palette Federico.

Thank you very much, Peter, Robert and Marjorie. Robert, it was indeed a Tischler dagger brush 1/4", I had it for long but didn't use it much, and with this mountain I discovered how useful it can be

Fantastic work, looks so real. Well done

Wonderful shapes in your snow shadows here. The shapes of the snow lead the eye upward. Since you asked for comment in your last mountain-range painting, I'm going to dare make one which is arial perspective related. As the eye goes upward into the distance, the slight softening of values, as you have done so well on the far, upward right, might be something to consider. It is a strong and gutsy and beautiful painting.

This is a cracker Federico. Really feel the presence of the mountain

Oil on A3. I found much easier to get the mountain volumes with the help of light and snow. My camera somehow got rid of the blues. A stiff dagger brush was a great discovery. Right out of the oven. May retouch a bit
