A Hazy Journey

Oil on birch
Greetings fellow Steemians,
In this post I thought I’d share and discuss the development of my latest invented landscape study.
Of course I started with the usual generalized block in, massing in the large shapes with thinned burnt umber.

With mixtures of burnt umber, a little cadmium red, and titanium white I then began to mass in the background.

..I then started loosely filling in some of the larger trees. At this point I was aiming towards achieving value and the local color.

..I then began working on the road, paying special attention to the transitions where the grasses met the dirt road.

After having the panel completely covered, I then went back and started working in some of the trees in the distance focusing on soft transitions.

Along with adding in some of the tree trunks, I then refined edges and added various details all over.
