I decided that I would like to finish this little painting that I had started last year (see post on 07 June 2013).
Using alizarin crimson I brushed in the red sky above the horizon line and the reflected color into the water below the horizon line.
I brush the base colour of the sky and water in with French ultramarine blue and then adding burnt sienna to the blue I put the clouds into the sky and the water ripples onto the surface of the lake.
Using a pale mixture of raw sienna and French ultramarine blue I painted in the trees on the horizon line.
Darkening the green paint, I put in the pine trees on the islands in the foreground.
Then I put in the rocks at the shoreline of the islands with alizarin crimson, burnt sienna and French ultramarine blue.
