Happy Trees

This weeks assignment was a landscape, which I decided to put down quickly and aggressively to capture the movement of the trees and sky.


I started by washing the whole canvas with a thin layer of burnt sienna, then I pulled out the drawing with a rag

Once satisfied with the composition I put in the trees with heavy paint using a palette knife.

With a mixed blue and a big hogs hair brush I put in the sky, the cloud is titanium white blended into the blue sky on the ends.

I washed a thin layer of paint in the foreground, then whipped it with a rag and the back of a brush.
