Pink Sky 2-4 Three Works in Progress

Today I thought I would like to work on these three paintings that I had started last year (see post on 16 October 2016) and thought like to try and get them completed today.

Working back and forth on each painting I drew in the horizon line, placed an island into the lake and drew pine trees onto the island.

I mixed a green of French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue and burnt sienna and painted in the trees on the far shore of the lake on each painting.

The rocks were made of washes of alizarin crimson and burnt sienna.

After the first and second layers dried I added a little ultramarine blue together with both rock colours put in the shadows on the rocks and the waterline at their base.

Next I mixed a dark green of both blues and raw sienna and indicated the main tree trunk and branches and started to put on the pine needles.

Before I could go any further on these paintings Christine came over and wanted to take us out for supper.

I will post each of these paintings at a later date once the trees have been completed.
