Mang Viper Exhibit

I am currently working on a mural for the Mang Viper Exhibit at the Herpetarium.  The mang viper is a beautiful snake that lives in the Hunan Province of China, known for its unique mountains and rock formations (it's where James Cameron got his inspiration for the floating islands in Avatar)

I Began with a quick and small color sketch on paper to get an idea of what the composition should be.

In the exhibit, I started by painting the sky and the most distant mountains.

Then I began painting the closer, darker mountains and adding trees, foliage, and mist.

Now I just need to add some final details to the foreground and I think I will be done.
