Back Forty II

Today I was at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio sitting the Outdoor Painters' exhibit "Rural Outlook".

With this exhibit having a large number of visitors I decided it would be best if I took in some sketches to work on rather than trying to paint.

I started with this one, which is of the corner of the back field where four of the fields meet that I started earlier this year (see posts on 25 June, 07 August and 15 October 2017).















I started on the left side of the drawing and put in the pine trees and grasses in the foreground and then put in the background forest and completed the maple tree.

Next I added in the centre background forest, drew in the maple trees and put in the foreground grasses to the drawing.

On the far right side of the drawing I put in the pine trees and then filled in the maple trees from the right side toward the centre.

This original 7-1/2" x 9" pen and ink drawing when matted and shrink wrapped will be available for $50.00.
