Autumn Pastorale 3

Artist's Gallery
Texturing the Hillside
Not much has changed here, but I wanted to show how I wrinkled up the grassy hill. I used all different shades of green, blue, and yellow to get the effect of sunny hills and shadowed recesses. This is the most dramatic stage of the painting for the grass, as the colors become more blended together later on. I especially like the shading on the area to the right of the black barn. The canvasses are going to be hung about an inch apart like this when they’re finished.

You did a tremendous job on the texturing! The grass looks so real, it should be mowed!

Looks a lot more filled out to me.
