ACEO - Dusk 5

This morning I wanted to complete this painting I had started last year (see posts on 08 March and 09 December 2017).

Using a green of Antwerp blue and raw sienna I painted in the background trees leaving the area between the trees and the water as rocks on the shoreline.

I used some of the same green in the water for the ripples across the surface of the lake.

Using a dark of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I painted in the tree trunks.

Darkening the background green with a small amount of the trunk colour I put the needles on the centre line tree.

I used various mixtures of burnt sienna, raw sienna, new gamboge, cadmium yellow and cadmium red for the grasses at the base of the trees.
