| Watercolor on Canson Moulin du Roy 30x40 |
Green fern leaves and a plastic film was used to create texture in the front. This is quite an exciting technique, as you will never know, how the pigment will sink into the paper. I used ultramarine, cadmium yellow, lemon yellow, burnt sienna, and
burnt umber. The last color was a risky choice, my last three attempts
with same palette were not successful - got a lot of muddy spots. This
time mud was avoided by putting burnt umber directly on ultramarine,
trying to avoid mixing with yellow colors. As I think of what I would do
differently having a second chance to this painting - probably would
make the distant trees lighter, colors less intense to create more
expressed perspective.
