Golden Palette of colors, no tube greens here.

This weeks class assignment was to do a landscape study from a photograph.

I used a calendar picture of a hiking trail. To liven up all that green I added the woman from another reference picture.

I mixed all the greens from the Golden Palette of colors, no tube greens here.

I wasn’t interested in rendering an exact copy of the photo, I liked the color and composition of it but I wanted to put my own twist on it. Thick and sloppy palette knife paint in the foreground, with thin washes of Liquin diluted paint added in to get a water color affect.

After it dries I’m going to try to get more detail in the woman’s face.
