As you can see, this isn’t a really involved, detailed scene; rather, it’s more about atmosphere and light, with hopefully a strong sense of place.

I was particularly drawn to the way the rocks and boulders in the distance and middle distance are just small, dark shapes, gradually becoming larger and more detailed, as we proceed towards the foreground.

This gives us a strong element of perspective and reinforces the sense of distance.

Quite a limited palette, but a great little subject to have fun with.  

Happy Painting,
Geoff.
