Walk to Turville, Chilterns, 20" x 30"
This was from our walk on new year's day, another take on the 'winter sunshine' theme. I was tempted to just leave out the figures, like I usually do, but decided to be brave and it would have been possible to scrape them off if it was terrible but I think they're ok. I was going for a mostly impressionistic style with a touch of focus around the tree and foreground. The glowing (hopefully!) branches are various mixes of raw sienna, skin tint, burnt sienna, crimson alizarin with white and coereleum to tone up and down. Viridian green features a lot in the shaded areas, with quite a bit of sgraffito to get texture. Next I think I'd like to try paint the famous A1 steam locomotive, just for fun...
