I then have some other green colours I use in very small quantity for some highlights or variety here and there.<br /><br />Thanks Andrew, I agree it was terribly hot and specially for you who didn't have an umbrella! Don't know how you did it. <br /><br />Thanks David, Glad you appreciate the brushstrokes and the light. This is spot on because I always try to have the focal point as the brightest/thickest/most defined area and try to leave the rest looser.<br /><br />Thanks Tim, I saw your post and I'm very impressed you climbed the mountain with your painting kit - why am I not surprised though? ;)Valérie Pirlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470723379873674087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504788645535827601.post-54421835817202101032011-06-29T15:12:02.591+01:002011-06-29T15:12:02.591+01:00Sorry I could not be there - up a mountain in N Wa...Sorry I could not be there - up a mountain in N Wales with my paintbox (a nice idea but no good in a gale!). Once again that freshness and life in paint, despite the conditions you faced.

Nice brushwork and I really like the way you use the light and colours to create a journey through the paintingDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909161522406304080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504788645535827601.post-67050559511084257362011-06-28T08:23:31.616+01:002011-06-28T08:23:31.616+01:00.... you almost understate the sense of heat-strok....... you almost understate the sense of heat-stroke we both experienced at the top of the climb; your face went a warm mixed shade of rose madder, burnt sienna and a touch of flake white. A magnificent view and enjoyable hours of painting though once we’d got there.ANDREW TAYLORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047691483333134989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504788645535827601.post-47193652956574388342011-06-28T08:21:33.975+01:002011-06-28T08:21:33.975+01:00Lovely work.

I like the reflection of sky on the lake and the general sense of light works very well in both, adding strength to the compositions.ANDREW TAYLORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047691483333134989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504788645535827601.post-38131405966250921392011-06-27T23:26:46.786+01:002011-06-27T23:26:46.786+01:00One of my favorite things about your blog is the w...One of my favorite things about your blog is the way you include the photographs of your painting trip. Isn't it great to have friends to share it with? I love all the greens in these, do you use greens or a limited number of colors and mix them yourself?<br />DougDouglas Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814926126903308566noreply@blogger.com
