ACEO - Snow Beauty 1

While going through a binder filled with small pieces of watercolour paper that I used when I was experimenting with different colour combinations on my palette.

This one was when I was using some of the different blues (see post on 27 December 2015), in this case French ultramarine blue and Antwerp blue.

I lightly drew in three large deciduous trees on the left side of the painting and indicated some trees in the background on a hill.

Using a mix of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I painted in the trees on the left side.

This was followed by painting a mix of hardwood and soft wood trees on the hill.

I completed the piece by adding grasses and growies using burnt and raw sienna.
