Inspired by a colleagues photo. For this sunset I used a wonderful colour - new gamboge - which is lovely golden yellow, I mixed it in various ways with ultramarine, cobalt blue, raw and burnt sienna to make all the autumnal browns and greens and to add light from the sunset into the path and bushes and emphasise the focal point. This is a large painting, A2, which allows me to free up my brush strokes and play fast and loose (Ron Ranson style) with the washes. I also applied Rons Credit card scraper technique to create texture in the trunks and add small branches here and there. To the right i used a little derwent pastel pencil in the trunks.
