In between 'proper' paintings, have started to paint on the back of failed efforts to try out techniques or ideas.
This is a recreation of a dramatic cloudy sky I observed on one of my walks. I knew I wanted to paint it as simply as possible and used just three colours, the darkest being Teal by Ken Bromley instead of my usual French Ultramarine. It seems to me that it makes more transparent greys than the latter colour.
For the tree reflections, I just bled the trees into the bottom part of the paper and the reflections appeared as if by magic.
This painting took all of five minutes, but I am very pleased with the result.
