Colour

In this landscape a wide variety of colour was used. In the background a mix of browns and greens to give the impression of trees on the hillside which have some reds and yellows subtly mixed in for variance within it. The mid ground uses more clear greens and yellows, with the three trees exaggerated to black and gold. The field to the right is mostly yellow and green and some more reds have been added to the brown of the path. In the foreground the mix of yellows is replaced with a mix a blues in with the green along with small hints of greys, all done to bring an added element of life to the image. This was also done to separate these three areas and thus give the image a sense of distance between them, the warmer background colours contrast and compliment the colder more blue colours of the front; this gives the piece more complexity.  The main focus of the image is at the end of the path where the middle tree grows; beyond this path we can see the next field along which is a bright unmixed green making the focal point brighter. The middle tree is also the brightest of the three as it isn’t darkened and mixed into the chaos of its background.
