I use my "black" mix: a combination in three pretty much equal parts of raw umber, alizarin permanent, and ultramarine blue--I use this for my darkest dark in all my paintings. As for books, John Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting has an excellent section on trees, Edgar Payne's Composition of Outdoor Painting is key, and little bits from so many others--including the quote that stays with me "give each tree its gesture," by Robert Henri in The Art Spirit. -- forgive me for not underlining book titles--I'm a bit technologically slow at figuring that out in this context! Hope that all helps.julie davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559836743365482675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190669187634710788.post-81030394658982102952011-03-28T07:41:24.083-05:002011-03-28T07:41:24.083-05:00Lovely composition.
