Country Road 1 - A Work in Progress

The first flock of Red-winged Blackbirds have arrived to join the four others that have been here all winter.

I had a little bit of time and wanted to work on one of the paintings that have been around for a while and need to be completed like this one (see posts on 29 January 2012 and 11 December 2015).

It was originally called Colour and Composition 6 and I have renamed it Country Road 1.













I added more aureolin into the top of the sky and while the sky area was still wet I added a mix of cadmium red, cadmium yellow and alizarin crimson into the bottom of the sky.

With cobalt blue and alizarin crimson I added a few clouds into the sky.

I will post this painting at a later date once more work on it has been completed.
