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

Silver streams and flows of fall.

Going to take a little wander back through the autumnal Japanese Alps for a little bit.

On the road through the mountains.

Little slivers of light and shadow on glacial rivers.

Canadian Rockies still have my heart 5 years later.

Aspens and birches are sunlight magnets.

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.

5 20

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!

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 now off to Canada. River in the Rockies.

And another one focusing on different elements. It's interesting how much my approach changes between a two value study and one with three.

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.

A more involved set of studies starting with a ~20 brushstroke impression and a couple of value studies alongside a full colour one.
