Watercolour 14x10 inch on rough pratice paper. This is a second attempt at this scene. First time I painted dark trees against a light sun setting background but I had problems with the foreground shadows and counterchange and basically couldnt work it out. I also had problems mixing the right oranges and browns etc. Then the other day I saw a pattern on a carpet (honest!) that made me think of the scene again. I decided to change the colours and make the trees light against dark although I havent gone anywhere near as dark as first intended. I still think its missing some additional interest but its miles better than the first attempt and I can now put it to bed and move on. Comments re improvements welcomed.
