Shady Copse - Day 1 & 2

Written By bco

Yesterday I did an underpainting with sumi ink: Shady Copse - Day 1 (Part 1), 0.7 hours

Then I added yellow ochre pastel on top of the underpainting, and brushed that with rubbing alcohol to produce a toned surface:

Shady Copse - Day 1 (Part 2), 0.9 hours

And today, I started going over that underpainting with other colors, trying to stay loose:

Shady Copse - Day 2, 2.2 hours

So far, I haven't yet added any actual green; I'm just playing with color temperature. Not sure whether I'll add green in the future or not. More next week, or perhaps this weekend if I feel particularly ambitious.
