Step
5-Create an Atmosphere
The mood of a painting is set by composition, color, color temperature and pastel technique. Here, the horizon is slightly above the center of the paper, which balances the composition. The path must go a certain way. Surrounding trees emphasize the private aspect of this trip. If you think about the mood, and if you know your subject and you have a clear vision of the story you want to tell, you will naturally gravitate to the right colors. I want a calm and serene atmosphere. My first choice of color is a blue-violet. I apply it generously, as it will have to bear the overlays.
Next step will be posted tomorrow...
