Adding Warmth

Up to this point, the painting had an overall coolness to it. Cool greens for the fig tree and lots of gray in the rocks. Even the upper boulder's reds are cool. I used Indian Red and a little Burnt Sienna for the reddest sections.
The rocks may be the foundation of the painting but the warm tones will tell the story.



The darkest areas in the lower grasses are designed to lead one to the base of the rock and direct one's eyes to the focal point.
Stay tuned.
