snowscene

                           8x10
Snow was forecast overnight here, but didn't happen. I was so disappointed. If it's going to be cold, you may as well have snow!
I painted this scene along with a video by Anne Kullaf. I enjoyed it.
She used a triad-- ultramarine, carmine and raw sienna. I found I needed to add cerulean to separate the sky from the trees.
I feel some of my shapes are too clunky or solid and hard edged. I'll try to be mindful of that next time I paint this.

Love it !!

Funny that you use these colours, ... as I always had the idea that sienna was more a reddisch one.

My palette is the last couple of years Ultramarine blue, Burnt Sienna and Naples Yellow pale.

What would happen if I would swap Naples Yellow for Raw Sienna, ...?

It would be a weird palette for once I would say.

Nice challenge, thank you !
