Beautiful morning today, with a warm light and fluffy clouds. I planned what I wanted to paint before I got there, as this is the third painting of this view recently. I felt I hadn’t really got to grips with this swoop of this hill but I’m pleased with this one.
Using a panoramic board I could really accentuate the space and distance. I mixed a variety of greens before I started. A new colour I’m using is Naples yellow, it isn’t very strong but great for nudging a colour to warm and lightening the tonal value as well.
The grass area at the top was quite light in tone and I like the lines going around the hilside they help guide the into the painting. I enojyed painting this!
