This is the second oil painting I have ever made, and the first time I have attempted to create mountains, trees and bushes. I used just 3 colours for this: Raw Umber, Phthalo Blue and Titanium White. I learned a lot and had tonnes of fun at the same time.

Mixed media, inktense derwent pencils, and watercolor.

A colored pencil rendering of things on my desk.

Baby, it’s cold outside.
