With a pale mixture of French ultramarine blue and cobalt blue I brushed in some shadows on the snow covered fields.
I darkened the mixture and added some ripples into the water on the creek.
Next I added burnt sienna to the darker blue colour and put in the tree branches and dark spots onto the birch tree on the left side of the painting.
Using various shades of green made from French ultramarine blue, raw sienna and new gamboge I painted in the various clumps of trees growing in the fields.
Lastly I added the various grasses and growies throughout the painting using mixtures of burnt sienna, raw sienna, new gamboge and aureolin.
