Earlier in the week I got out for a lunch hour and made this painting at the nearby coffee park. The park has some interesting undulations and a path cutting across from the bike path over to the train track crossing. The tree had a range of fall colours spanning yellow to orange to chartreuse. The scan makes it look more red than it was, but still gives a good impression. I kept the chroma high by using pyrol and benzi pigments without much neutralization. I started mixing pyrol with earth paint, it gives a mid-chroma appearance that is quite useful for leaves after they change colour and start to fade.
