Info

You will hear in workshops about creating sky holes in trees to give a loose airy look. However if youcreate many little sky holes as seen in nature your painting will look too spotty and will disturb theviewer’s eye. It is better to create large sky gaps which will still help your trees from looking pastedon. Make sure each sky gap is different in size. Fill in with solid paint all the tiny sky holes. If you dopaint a small sky hole make its value darker than the surrounding sky because the value contrastwith the darker trees will make the hole appear lighter.48
Autumn trees are tricky because you can get so many colors that you run the risk <strong>of</strong> making yourpainting too busy. The easiest solution is to work with an analogous color scheme. If you do notpaint red trees you will still be in the harmony <strong>of</strong> adjacent hues. I would also not paint pure greenhue. You can paint red trees but then it would be good to exclude yellow, yellow green and green.49
