ACEO - Open Field 1

This is a painting I have worked on for a little while (see posts on 28 Oct 2012 and 29 March 2013) and wanted to complete it today.

First I painted in the hay field with a mix of raw sienna and burnt sienna, varying the colours throughout the field.

With green mixtures made of Antwerp blue, French ultramarine blue, new gamboge, cadmium yellow and raw sienna I painted in the trees along the far edge of the field.














In the foreground I painted in the tree trunks of the three pines with burnt sienna and French ultramarine blue and then added the needles with darker green mixes of the same colours used on the distant trees.

Lastly, I put in some stubble remaining from the mowed field with mixtures of burnt sienna, raw sienna, cadmium yellow and French ultramarine blue.
