ACEO - Pastel Colours 2

Today I wanted to finish this painting that I had started last year (see posts on 14 April and 17 October 2016).

I started withe background trees on the hill with a mix of French ultramarine blue and raw sienna.

I darkened the colour slightly with a little bit of burnt sienna and painted the foreground pine trees on each side of the painting.

Lastly I added the dead grasses and growies beneath the trees with mixtures of raw sienna and burnt sienna.
