ACEO - Cold Day 2

Today I thought I would like to finish this painting that I had started a while ago (see posts on 27 November 2013 and 14 March 2016).

Using French ultramarine blue I darkened some areas of the ice on the water.

I added burnt sienna to the blue and painted in the tree trunks and branches on the larger trees, a slightly lighter mix was used on the twigs and bushes into the foreground.

Next I used various mixtures of burnt sienna, raw sienna and new gamboge to put on the leaves as well as the grasses and growies at the base of the trees and bushes.

If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.

The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Lanaquarelle 100% cotton, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.
