Foggy Mountain Retreat

Lately I’ve been viewing a lot of images of mountains in the fog. It was time for me to paint my own.

The trick is to paint the mountains on dry or slightly damp paper, then flood the area just under them. The water pushes the pigment away.

French ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, Payne’s grey, burnt sienna, quinacridone gold and scarlet lake. Cold press Fabriano Studio paper.
