Description
My impression of the Grand Canyon After Monsoon Rains have turned the mountains green, and washed all the dust away. For most of the year, the Grand Canyon is arid, but during the summer monsoon, however, Canyon Sides can become green as the majority of the rain comes to the canyon in a short period of time. Creating the appearance of a second springtime in the canyon. Rains may continue into September or even October, totally change the colors normally seen in the mountain sides..
Beginning with on Blank Canvas in Photoshop. Not a Photo. Digital painting can take as much time or even more, than painting in acrylic on a canvas. One reason is due to being able to see or work on a section of the painting at a time. But in our RV we only have room for one easel. Digital painting eliminates all the chemicals used, so is a great way of helping protect the environment. It took me about two years, to make the transition from acrylic on canvas to using the computer with brushes which are literally identical to those used with paint.
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was Garc�a L�pez de C�rdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
