High Key paintings do not come as easy to me as an image in the low key (darker values) range.
I thought I would try one, just to get into some 'dangerous waters' so to speak.
I think we all need to do this occasionally, and not stay in our SAFE zone all the time. Sound familiar?
I made this image up, and wanted the drama of the soft sky to be the main feature.
I used Canson Mi Teintes Touch paper, which is not my favorite, but hey, what the heck!
I felt a need for the 'pop' of red in the front grasses just to get that area to read closer to the viewer. This I did with the 'dusting' technique.
Great fun!
