Using a mix of French ultramarine blue and Antwerp blue I painted in the sky.
The background trees were painted first using greens made from French ultramarine blue, raw sienna and Antwerp blue.

Then the pasture was brushed in and some areas where I would put more defined grasses in the foreground were indicated.
Once the paint was dry I removed the masking fluid.
I will post this painting at a later date once more of the painting has been completed.
