Another landscape study.  Looking at the big shapes.

Messing with some photo bashing and then this happened.  A bit of fun.

Tried to stay with the landscape theme but being experimental. 

Landscape Study 12 -After Monsted -Glimpses of the Sun in Sæby Stream

After Monsted -Glimpses of the Sun in Sæby Stream

Biggest challenge when painting landscapes is handling green.  A classic way of breaking up all the green is adding red accents.  This is a symphony of red and green.  Image I worked from was on Elsewhere but links back to Jose Rosarios website

Landscape Study 11 After Andreas Achenbach-Wildbach

After Andreas Achenbach-Wildbach

Some dramatic landscape. The image I studied from is Elsewhere.  Had not seen any of this artists work before.  A lot of moody work.

Tried another character.  It came from the same set of silhouettes as cricket guard.  Not as successful I think - a bit generic. 

Landscape study 10 After Shishkin - Small Oak Trees

Decided to do a few landscape studies.  This work is by Shishkin.   Did not spend a tun of time refining this as I just wanted to get the big shapes in  and then work from there.   There does not seem to be a lot of images of this online and the few that are there vary in hues.  This was copied from an image on a website  Elsewhere .  This has a  great collection of paintings of landscapes at good resolution and believable colours. The original is in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.   Someday.
