There were two photos posted for the YOP Landscapes at
paintingfriends.com. The other photo, shown below, is of the old apple tree that was just barely standing in our backyard.
For this project, I am using acrylics on Fabriano Artistico soft press paper, an 1/8th sheet (7 1/2" x 11"). In the photos above you can see the beginning block in of all the areas.
The bright green in the foreground on the first part of the block in, is Stephen Quiller sap green straight from the tube. For the tree cast shadow I laid in Golden quin. magenta. The rest of the colors used are WN hookers green, Liquitex brilliant yellow green, Golden Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Fr. Ultramarine Blue(Golden Open), Cobalt Blue, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Yellow Primrose (Golden Open) and gesso used for white.
On the weather front, we have had so much rain that we are soaked. That is better than having the drought conditions that are in Texas. Sure wish some of this rain would help them. One of our rivers is 10 feet above normal so you can imagine how much flooding there is around the river. Today we have a 100% chance of rain forecasted ha ha. But tomorrow, we are suppose to see some sunshine with more rain on Wednesday. I'm thankful for this rain and that the storms haven't been too bad and no tornadoes in this area. Still I frequently shut down the computer, grab a book and read during the worst of it all.
