Here it is, after much tweeking and a few extra transparent layers for the sky and the shadow at the bottom.
So now on to the next one in the series of four… This is showing the first two layers, the solid black ground with the first dark grey. I quite like this as it looks quite spooky!
Then with some background lines of trees cut out and some more foliage in the foreground, another layer of lighter grey.
Next for this one is an all in one roll of the sky and the snow, hopefully that will work!
wonderful wintery blue composition – like the 50-50 between trees and shadow with the midline just broken up by the trees on the right
Thank you! I was a bit concerned about the line being right through the middle (the rule of thirds having gone out the window!) but as you said, the trees break it up (enough!).
Your finished print really conveys that effect of low winter sun. Gorgeous.
Thanks Laura, I’m glad it came out as I had hoped!
