What I like about how these paintings are developing is that the under drawing does not change. I may add a tree or two in the process but essentially its a case of following the outlines. What that means to me is that I have got the composition ‘right’ and there are not any areas that do not work. That also means that I just need to focus on using colour to create form and space. This painting is another one of those pictures that I paint from the top down. I use the finished sky to judge the tone for the rest of the landscape.
