Winter 8

Although you can't see the result, today I put a layer of red dots amongst the light blue of the sky..It has created an even more true to life sky and contrasts well with the increasing amount of yellow ochre I'm adding. I've opted to start filling in the tree to the far left and then fill the branches in between it and tree to it's right. Here you can see quite a lot of sky but will eventually be a hazy mass of twigs and branches.

Have stopped work for the day now..had to investigate a terrible smell coming from the Boy's bedroom...their television had literally blown up! We're going to have our tea now!
