Autumn Pastorale 2
Artist's Gallery
Defining Scenery
Now it’s time to sketch in the farm spread, forest, and preliminary shadows on the hill. As I did the scenery, I painted it upside down, and a little lighter, in the pond at the same time (this is the easiest way to do reflections). The trees don’t look very natural at this point, as I was concentrating on placement and used very dark shades of color. In fact, I’ve been told that the farmhouse trees are all floating off the ground—which they actually are!

That's interesting to know how you did the reflection.

I like the white fence running through, and the red tree.
Looks like the red tree floating off the ground is a fur tree (which you can't see the stems of anyway) that turned red!
