Wow – skillfully executed Bob. Great greens!

Just superb, Bob! I love working over two pages too, gives such an interesting scene! Love this!

I love the panorama format of this Bob and you obviously have no fear of the dreaded greens you handle them so well. A lovely painting.

Thank you for the kind comments Thalia, Val and Detlev. Richard Thorn is a great handler of greens, and I've tried to learn from his work...looking at the various ways he uses them...plus the standby green that I learned from Alwyn Crawshaw...Hookers green and Burnt Umber that makes a lovely dark green that can further be warmed by more Burnt Umber, or cooled by one of the blues. For distant trees I normally use the W&N Lemon Yellow that is made with Nickel Titanate, a very muted opaque yellow, then I mix that with either Ultra, Cobalt or Cerulean blue.

Awww! thanks for the reply re the greens... we've all learned so much from Alwyn's teaching! I'll certainly try those ideas...when we get our greens back over here! 50 shades of brown dust at the moment! But raining hard again now!

Clever...... I’ve used my Moleskines this way for ever and a day. It makes for a great format and the paper is great.
