Media: Watercolor
Size: 7x5 in
The sun was setting when I took the reference photo
for this painting and that created long dramatic shadows. I captured the
depth of this scene by making the trees in the distance a blurry mass
of muted grays while the trees in the foreground have more definition
and color. I also used gouache to create the highlights on the bark.
