Painting Project

This place is very dry and windy.  The grass flows in the wind, and the sun skoals the soft tar.  The heat rises up the cliff side.  The smell of nature travels through the valley in the wind. I used natural colors in this painting to show the reality of the scene.  Very warm and dry.  When painting the sky I used a sideways brushstroke to get the right effect.  For the mountain range I used up and down brush strokes with a loaded brush to get the streak effect in the rock layers.  I slapped a fan brush on the canvas to create the grass. Lastly, the brush strokes for the road went inwards towards the center of the canvas.  and the lines were done the same way, just with extra detail.
