We went back to Alphington Wetlands this afternoon.
While we were painting last week, I had a walk around the river, then found this beautiful spot.
It's completely hidden from a walking track. Unlike the spot we painted last time, this place offers unhindered view of water, trees and sky.
After watching Greg's demo yesterday, I was wondering if it's easier to paint trees with flat brushes.
I saw Greg doing gum trees beautifully with just a few strokes of brushwork.
I have some Rosemary's Ivory series from England, but haven't used them for a long time.
So, I had a go at it again today.
I'm reasonably happy with this one, particularly tree trunks.
Forms of trees and their tones are a bit shaky, but I think I managed to capture the effect of light.
Well, I've got three big mosquito bites!
Apart from that, it was a great day.
