Getting a little perspective...

I took a day off painting to go to a funeral.  Sometimes tears help me see better...
To continue with the aspen painting I added branches and then smaller branches.  Last came the leaves.  I used Hansa yellow light, Cadmium yellow medium, nickel azo yellow, yellow oxide, and Indian yellow.  It still didn't look as if the sun was shining on them as in Nederland so I added a tiny bit of interference gold and metallic gold at the golden mean. This was for those of you who asked about my process.  It is much more fun to just load the brush and apply it to canvas, but I like my final product better if I plan more.   Off to the next painting!
