Landscape 3

Comments

What a fantastic use of subtle tones and hues, Satu! It's beautifully composed with superb atmosphere and light. Wonderful piece!

Have to agree with Seok, subtle use of greys and Browns are terrific, and a real atmospheric feel of cold.

Lovely Satu you seem to have taken very well to these landscapes . Are you working from reference or from your mind or a combination of the two I wonder. Anyway nice work well done.

This all gels so well Satu, the warm browns against the greys, superb.

Posted by Alan Bickley on Thu 28 Jan 15:18:54

This is truly inspired and inspiring. I agree that the use of tones and colours makes this gel, yet is has drama too.

Extremely good landscape Satu, love the limited palette.

This is gorgeous Satu - the subdued palette is really attractive.

Thank you ever so much Seok, Andre, Dennis, Alan, Gudrun and Carole for the lovely comments! Dennis, I have used the same reference photo ( quite a dull one) for all three paintings. It has been a mind opening exercise to try to find something new every time by using different tools, colour scheme and markings.

Yet they are all so different, that's really clever!

I like the mood in this Satu, again illustrates that simple statements often work best.

The same scene as the two previous ones but this time I used a very limited palette, big brushes, a knife and a small piece of cardboard. Acrylic on board.
