This one is based on the #sketch I made of the tree on a cliff.

I felt like I wanted to try something different, to make it a harmonious, soft and light looking piece, with different colours than the natural ones I use most of the time.

Also I used #Canson mi-teintes paper instead of the course #U-art 500 that I use often, to amplify the soft and #atmospheric feel.

Last two weeks I've been working on this painting thatnis approx. 30 x 45 cm. It was sunny the morning that I took the picture, brightening up the leafs in amazing autumnal colors!

Things I've learned from painting this one: Blurring edges in the distance more effectively
To not have strong value contrasts in the peripheral areas of the painting.
Maybe I failed at the left tree regarding the second point. It doesn't bother me too much though.

'Green Hazelnuts on a Contorted Branch' has just been completed in soft pastels. The model is a shrub from my own garden. I planted it several years ago and really love the twists and turns taken by the branches as they grow.

See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/green-hazelnuts-on-a-contorted-branch-mm-anderson.html or one of the other links in my profile. #art #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #CreativeToots #BotanicalArtwork #PastelArtist #SoftPastel
