ACEO - Pink Sky 3

I wanted to work on something small that I could complete today and after looking at a number of partially completed paintings I picked this one that I had started quite a while ago (see posts on 16 October 2016, 14 May 2017 and 05 January 2018).

I mixed various different greens using Antwerp blue, burnt sienna, French ultramarine blue and raw sienna.

Using the darkest green I put in the shadowed areas onto the pine needles. This was followed by adding the sunlit needles with the lightest green.

With some of the remaining greens I added the ripples in the water below the horizon line and the reflections below the island.

Next I put the grasses in with raw sienna.

Lastly, I used the dark green and added some alizarin crimson and put in the tree trunks, branches and a few dead trees.
