ACEO - Pink Sky 7

Today I pulled out this painting that I had started a while ago (see posts on 26 December 2016 and December 2017) and wanted to get it completed.

Using burnt sienna, raw sienna, alizarin crimson and a small amount of French ultramarine blue I painted in the rocks on the far shoreline, and washed the colours over the large rock face in the foreground.

Making various greens from French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue, raw sienna and new gamboge I added some variations in colour into the background trees.

Next I darkened the greens with a little burnt sienna and painted the needles onto the foreground trees.

Using the greens and burnt sienna, I painted in the tree trunks and branches on the pine trees and the shadows on the rocks.
