Tent at an Alpine Lake
15 September, 2007 Filed in: Landscapes
Here's the next painting in my series of tent scenes:
This is detail shot of the tent's reflection by the water:
To make the northern lights, I painted in the highlights in the sky in white, let them dry and then brushed Pthalo Blue over top.
I like using a tent that contrasts with the sky but I'm considering trying a limited palette as well. The tent makes an interesting focal point but it could also be good to hide it a little bit, so that it's not the first thing that you notice when you look at the painting.
