Cliffs and trees and mist. Been making some speckly brushes to suggest foliage but am still learning how to use procreate's brush editor.

Going to take a little wander back through the autumnal Japanese Alps for a little bit.
#littlelandscapes
Little slivers of light and shadow on glacial rivers.

Canadian Rockies still have my heart 5 years later.
#littlelandscapes
These tall dark northern forests are a world apart from my dry landscape but they're the fantasy forests I grew up reading so they feel strangely familiar too.
#littlelandscapes
Trying out some new ways to suggest forms but I think I lost sight of the patterns of light that drew me to this scene. It's all learning though!
#littlelandscapes
More of the mountains I fell in love with in Canada.

Erin Hanson's luminous landscapes have been a big inspiration lately. I wanted to try using a very saturated blue base.

Realised with this one that the watercolour brushes were getting in the way for how I wanted to paint so went back to the more opaque ones after this.

Here I tried out using watercolour brushes for a little study of Grouse mountain, Vancouver.

And another one focusing on different elements. It's interesting how much my approach changes between a two value study and one with three.
#littlelandscapes
Another set focusing on the one reference. The 20 stroke exercise is really difficult, it's a challenge to think very carefully about what information you want to convey and how to do that.
#littlelandscapes
A more involved set of studies starting with a ~20 brushstroke impression and a couple of value studies alongside a full colour one.
