Went with a Steve Ross painting today. I liked the way the birch trees were setup compositionally and I really liked painting them. I used Nic (Hankins) little mountain trick & added a little phthalo green to the shadow side of the mountain.

Awesome birches! Love the sky Matt!
Thanks Sandy!
Thanks Brian! I worked on clouds a little more than usual.
This one is eye popping throughout! The detail on the tree and white border really sets it off.
Thanks Forest! I was very pleased with how this one turned out too.
Love the blues - this is really pretty! great highlight details.
Thank you Pam!
Fantastic job. And i like the phthalo green trick. Those birches really pop!
Thanks Chris. I wish I would have stumbled upon that phthalo green trick earlier :-)
I’m in love w this painting and your trees are on point… well done
What is nic h lil Mtn trick? I’m new to painting and like his teachings as well but haven’t heard this yet?!
Thanks JScott. Nick will sometime add a touch or phthalo green to the shadow side of his mountains. Gives it a little more pop.
