Effort
Ok, another project with a man-made object, the infamous cabin. Nope, not ready for that. I am still working straight lines, shrubs etc. So - skipping it.
On the other hand, a limited paint canvas. Your standard black and white. Love it.
That being said, the grey is actually a mix of Prussian Blue and Van Dyke Brown. Doesn't that actually make this a color painting?
This one was fun again. My sky turned out well, and even though a couple of the mountain face elements are fairly flat - I am really happy with both the paint breaks and the shading. So I must have been on my day with this one.
My water also turned out nice and I am really happy with the reflections.
The part I am displeased with is the same as always. My evergreens in the distance look a little like a picket fence and my fan brush is a bit stiff so ...

On the other hand, I think my foreground is much improved so in the end, I not only had a good time but I am pleased with the results. This is my second limited color - perhaps that is going to end up being my strong suit.
Strangely, if you look in the book - this painting is in color with a blue sky and bluish water. Hmm.
