Autumn Past

I took the reference photo on the same walk as the Day 31 painting. I felt like looking back to fall as we have snow on the ground now and it's freezing out.

Acrylic on 6x6 Masonite

Not bad, but it seems to be lacking something and the leaves seem to be floating, and they shouldn't be. I guess I could just sat that this is a painting of falling leaves.

The underpainting colour was a mid tone green. It seemed like a good idea because the photo was mainly yellows and browns. I never quite sure whether to use a similar colour or an opposite colour as a base coat. More research needed. Keep painting.
