Huh, quite prophetic, as I write this in August the weather outside is distinctly Autumnal today as Storm Francis moves through. This was meant to be about brushing up skills on painting trees, foliage etc but as is often the case the painting had it's own plans on where it wanted to go. It did at least get some thicker paint applied and I suppose I did get on with painting branches etc but it has come out a lot more fantasy than I intended, probably through the colours and lighting I used. It reminds me of a Brothers Hildebrandt Lord of the Rings illustration probably because I used the colour theory in the same way.
I like the painting but it didn't go where I intended...
Oil on linen 22" x 16".
There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
