Three Trees Landscape

Yesterday I finished this study which I started about three days ago. I think it turned out well. I remember I wanted the trees to had a horizontal wind-like effect. I think a lot of movement was achieved by the brush strokes going across the tops of the trees. I like the suggestion of the landscape in shapes around the trees also. Studies such as this really free me up and give me a chance to experiment with shapes and color in variations on the surface. It's a matter of not being precious and working on paper is really perfect. So I can take the good elements from the study and apply them to canvas or linen later. At this stage I'm happy to keep producing small scale studies. My aim so far is to introduce brown into the paintings. It's not that easy after so many years not really using it in my palette.
