ACEO - Autumn Trees 10

This is one of the paintings I started earlier this month when I was in Magnetawan staying at the Knoepfli Inn for a paint out with some members of the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Group (see post on 05 October 2015).

While a have a little time in between preparing the Thanksgiving turkey supper with all the fixing I completed this painting of the autumn forest beside the cottages at the side of the Inn.

Using mainly mixtures of cadmium red, cadmium yellow and alizarin crimson I painted in the brightly coloured leaves in the trees first.

Then with the same colours I added some of the young saplings into the bottom area of the painting.















With a mix of French ultramarine blue and raw sienna I added some of the darker green leaves into some of the shadowed areas.
