Chest Pains And Blurred Vision

Second Lesson 2011 - The prospect with color: the winter landscape

With this lesson, we see how to give the impression of perspective using color.
All you will remember the phrase: "the objects are painted in the near dark colors while away will be painted with bright colors"
What you need to do this winter landscape (yes, yes, there is still lots of snow):
Paper 300 gr.
colors: cadmium yellow, cobalt blue, alizarin red and burnt sienna.
Brushes: Round of medium and small, a large brush chiatto

Methods
1. Make a plan with few details, to enable add directly to the color.

2. With the brush barge, thoroughly wet the paper and make sure it is bright.
the brush round and putting average light blue spots on the upper third of the paper, to give the impression of the forest and sky. Putting even a few hints of this blue light on other areas of the paper. Allow space without color. Add splashes of yellow and alizarin, but very slightly. When still wet, add more blue to draw the trees in the undergrowth.

3. To do this step, make sure that the paper is dried. With the round brush to trees on the second floor of the paper, using the blue with burnt sienna to create different colors ranging from brown to blue. This, of course, is done with the technique, wet on dry! E 'to remember that most trees are nearby, the more the color will be dark and dense.

4. The tree in the foreground was done wet on wet: this allows us to make some interesting nuances. Do the pool of water with a thick blue (blue and Siena burning) and add the sprigs and the shadows on the snow. For small twigs ulilizzare the brush. Here is the result. So you can create a view with color.

Good luck and, above all, have fun doing other similar versions of winter landscapes.
