ACEO - Purple Rocks 1

I came across this painting that I had started a long time ago when I had some members of the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Group over to the farm for a paint out (see post on 23 August 2012).

I started with the rocks giving them more definition, adding shadows where needed and indicating some cracks in the rocks.

Using a slightly darker mix of the rock colour I put their reflections into the water.

With various greens made of cadmium yellow, aureolin, raw sienna and French ultramarine blue.















Lastly, I added the reflections from the bushes and growies into the water.
