| Finished Painting |
Now for the finishing touches. I was itching to paint the red tree leaves in the front, but I knew I had to completely finish the rest of the painting first. If anything behind was still wet, the tree leaves would get muddy and smudged. First I added a few more highlights on the trees and grass, as well as their corresponding reflections. Next came the cows - and they were not easy to create. Some of them ended up looking more like train cars than four-legged animals! After making sure that was dry, I started in on the tree. It was really challenging since I knew that once I put the paint down, it would be really hard to remove it again! I built up the leaves with dark reds and maroons, then added brighter brick red on top. I think the red tree adds a nice frame on the picture without being too intense for the scene. See what you think of it compared to my watercolor of the same scene right here.
