Birch Trio 1 and 2 - Two Works in Progress

Today I wanted to do more work on these two paintings that I had started a few years ago (see post on 21 September 2013).

I decided to work back and forth on both pieces.

First I tidied up the branches of the birch trees and gave the trunks a little more definition.

Next I mixed the sky colour using French ultramarine blue, cobalt blue and added a small amount of burnt sienna and painted in the sky on both paintings.

I set them aside to dry.

As I was deciding what I would like to do in the background of each painting I had friends drop by for a visit.

I will post each of these paintings as more work on them is completed.
