White Cedars 1 - A Work in Progress

After having our class last month cancelled due to weather we are painting today at the church this week and will return to our usual second and fourth Tuesday of the month next week.

Today I wanted to work on slightly larger paintings than I did last month and I chose this painting that I had started a long time ago (see posts on 15 December 2011, 15 August 2017 and 23 January 2018).

With a mix of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, I painted the trunks of the five large cedar trees in the foreground.














I mixed a green of Antwerp blue and raw sienna and painted the trees on the background hills.

Next, I darkened down the green mixture and painted in the middle ground cedar tree on the left side of the stand of  white cedars.

I will post this painting at a later date as more work on it has been completed.
