I finally got to the trees and the horizon line. I wanted golden hour sunset colors–the end of a beautiful day: yellow orange (semi-translucent), quinacridone red, a mix of quinacridone magenta and permanent magenta, violet, perylene green violet & maroon, gold ochre, quinacridone gold, winsor blue-red tone, and I think that about covers what colors I used on day 3.
Everything is still all watercolor–no other medium yet. As I deepen the values and find “black,” I already see places I could lighten with gouache. I love having such versatile paints.
Next step: tightening the foreground. That means people.
