Cliffs and Trees

This is probably my favorite painting from the workshop.  It was the second to last painting I did.  Doug taught us a few secrets about painting rocks and matching color with rocks.  I never realized that in rocks the under side facing the ground is warmer because it is reflecting light from the ground and the bottom side facing up towards the sky is cooler or more blue because it is reflecting the sky itself.  One of the many awesome little tips I learned during the week long workshop.  I love how thick some of the strokes are in this painting!
