Last week, during my painting vacation, I have been experimenting with my materials and with atmosphere. Our teacher and coach Ad van Aart encouraged me to do so and this work is one of the results of my experiments.
The reference picture is made at the location of our vacation, a small patch of woodland opposite the parking place provided a nice enough scene to paint.
My colour scheme is experimental, yellow, orange and red for the background with the plan to 'go wild' with other colours to change the atmosphere from serene to something more dramatic. I used my water soluble graphite for that, layering dry upon washed graphite for depth.
This may not be the best I ever made, but I enjoyed working on this one. And experiments always have the chance of failure or at least being not really great.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this work and its availability can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
