Fall Fade, 10 x 8, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2023
Available - Click for information
The muted tones of fall are deliciously soft and comforting. Nature seems to be going to sleep to rest up for its spring display. I love the cycle.
Below are some process shots...
I kept my dark underpainting very thin and sketchy.
As I added color, I toggled back and forth between the trees and sky, kind of mushing them together. I wanted to hang on to the softness and branchy-ness.
To finish it off, I used my warmest tones and greatest contrast in the front row of trees and grasses. This added some depth. It helped push the background back and pull the foreground forward.
