After packing the print for shipping, I decided that I would finish this piece that just needed the birch trees in the foreground painted.
I used titanium white on the sunlit side and then added a small amount of ultramarine blue and burnt sienna to the paint for on the shadowed side and the larger branches.
With a dark of ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and alizarin crimson I added the markings onto the birch trunks and the small branches.
Next, using various mixtures of yellow ochre, burnt sienna and Hansa yellow I added the leaves onto the branches.
Lastly, using the shadow colour and the dark branch colour I added some grasses and growies at the base of the birch trees.
This original 16" x 20" acrylic painting when framed will be available for $375.00.
