Day 3 - Lake Michigan Dunes


After the canvas was covered with thin washes of color, I started with the sky and background trees along the top of the distant dunes. I also put more shades of blue in the water and light green in the distant grasses. I wanted to get a feeling of depth right from the start and so the distant trees changed as I softened edges and lightened the value as it receded.
