Every time I paint a landscape (or draw one for that matter) I learn something. It is very calming and along the way I constantly experiment with techniques, colors or paper.
I was eager to finish this landscape this weekend. However, I didn't get it done. Instead I volunteered at our local ski jump which is walking distance from my house.
It's all good. This experience made me look at the (local)landscape with a fresh perspective.
There are some backlit shrubs and tree massing in the foreground which will add a lot to the painting by framing the distant landscape.
I included one of my matchboxes in the photograph because I resisted cropping it out. I love to sketch automobiles based on these matchboxes.
