I needed to work fast, and indoors, so I used acrylics, which I haven't touched for some time. It's great that they dry so fast, and infuriating that they do so, because there are colours on the palette which I want to come back to and they're no longer viable! I found I wanted to use the paint almost like watercolour - lots of layers building up the relative tones.
It took a while to finish, and I had to keep stopping because the tones and hues changed so much over the course of the weeks, the mountain went backwards and forwards from all over very pale to strikingly black and white, to barely there palest grey, to pink at sunset. And the fields were at times so bright green I couldn't get the paint bright enough to match! Here's an earlier photo of work in progress.
