A golden vine twists and turns its way into sunlight. Small red and purple flowers bloom. To create the atmospheric effect I surrounded the object with a mix of purple magenta (PV19) and indo blue (PB60) and streaks of maroon (PR179). Over the top I put the tree line which blended with the sky colour. For the ground I applied burnt ochre (PR102) with brush strokes of dark green (PB31) and magenta (PR122). The colour codes specify what the pigment was in the paint. This information helps because paint names are not very informative all the time. The name name of paint can have different pigments depending on the company. It is something I started to pay more attention to starting around 2017 and then in 2020 I redid my whole palette to have mostly single pigment paints.
