For the first one I painted in the sky using titanium white and ultramarine blue. I then added a small amount of alizarin crimson to the sky colour and painted in an area of open water.
Winter Island
Next using burnt sienna, raw sienna and white I painted in some trees on the horizon.
Adding ultramarine blue to the background tree colour I put in darker closer trees near the horizon line before setting it aside to work on the second painting.
Open Water 1
Using the same colour for the water as in the first painting, I painted in areas of open water on the second painting.
At this point I wasn't quite sure how I would progress with either of these pieces. But I found four small wooden frames and I make cut them down to fit the frames.
I will post each of these paintings at a later date once I decide what direction I wish to go with them in the future.
