A ton of pics in this post just to show you the progression of this painting. The background started with very light blues and grays and then I added white/gray diluted with alot of medium to make it more translucent.
For the background trees I painted them in dark greens and browns and then added a couple coats of plain medium alternating with the diluted foggy gray.
I printed the tree onto tissue paper(from one of my photos- isolated the tree). The second picture shows the print and the third is me starting to iron the tissue paper so it melts into the wax.
Pic #4 shows how the print looks after embedding it into the wax. I then used a hot pen with a fine tip to paint over the tree with wax, using the print as an under drawing.(pic 5).
Pic 6 is after I added in the foreground grasses - to bright so pic 7 is after I fogged them up a bit.
Pics 8 and 9 are the finished painting. I am pretty pleased with how this one has turned out. I done often do monochromatic pics and they are a challenge for me.
All for today - Take Care
