In the sunshine 03

I’m working on the distant and middle ground.  The distant hills are not, in fact, that distant!  The very pale lilac I have used so far gives the impression the the hills are miles away, but they are barely one mile distant.  I’ve deepened the tone of the hills, given them more shape and introduced colour into the hillside.  Those brighter colours are working well with the turquoise vase, and the darker tones bring the hillside a little nearer.

Railing detail.

I’ve indicated the top of the railings more as a line in the wet paint than as a separate painted element, so it’s green rather than black.  That’s fine as it is present but not strident, and I am delighted that some of the random brush strokes look like leaves – serendipity again!

 

Making progress.
