Playing with color is what I did with this 8 x 10 inch oil painting. Sunshine and reflections against a brilliant blue sky emerged as my brush made its way across this hardboard panel. I started with a wash of alizarin crimson and built the trees with cadmium yellow, the sky with cobalt blue and a little titanium white. Alizarin and sap green make a nice mixture for the dark trunks of the trees. Various mixtures of sap green and lemon yellow created the highlights and the backlit shoreline. Technorati tags:
