Mountains and Aspens

This painting was completed quite quickly at home and was taken from another painting of the Rocky Mountains in the US. It was a nice image to paint because of the vivid colours and I really liked the autumnal colours of the leaves compared with the cool blue of the mountain range behind. I am pleased with the painting and thought I captured quite well the mountains and sky behind the trees. Painting with acrylics is really quite straightforward as the paint dries so quickly that you can easily correct mistakes and you can progress with your painting at a fast rate. I am now planning to try my hand at oil painting which I expect will be more challenging!
