ACEO - Summer Pines 1

I pulled out this little painting that I had started last year (see post on 05 May 2017), along with five other pieces that I had painted in the sky.

First I lightly drew in the trunks of the main pine trees and it was at this point that I decided to change the name of this painting from Blue 1 to Summer Pines 1.

Using French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, I painted in the tree trunks and main branches.

With various green mixtures using Antwerp blue, French ultramarine blue, raw sienna and new gamboge I added the pine needles onto the tree branches.

For the grasses in the foreground I used raw sienna, burnt sienna, new gamboge and aureolin.
