Today I decided to work on this painting that I had started last year (see post on 22 August 2014).
First I lifted out the background birch trees that I had indicated in pencil.
I decided that the large birch on the right side needed to be changed from going off the edge of the painting.
Using various mixtures of alizarin crimson, French ultramarine blue, raw sienna, burnt sienna and new gamboge I painted into the entire background to unify it and to fix the birch tree.Once the paint had dried I could see some rock shapes in the background.I will develop them more by painting in the negative around them.
Next I added the dark markings onto the background birch trees with a mixture of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.
I will post this painting at a later date once more work on it has been completed.
