Thursday

This morning I worked on the background, making sure things fell into place atmospherically. There was a morning fog that also added some depth, so I played up the contrast between the middle ground and those trees against the horizon. The grasses in front of the mist I slowly started to warm up with yellows, still making sure the color didn't jump out too fast. With the foreground I can now get much richer in color and contrast. When done the painting will have a nice atmosphere to it.
