The second Tararua Sunrise painting is finished. For some reason I struggled a bit with this one, even though it's a relatively simple painting. It was hard to make the colours and the contrasts work.
Although I had thought I would use green ochre for the highlights on the foreground hills, but it just didn't look right. I ended up using a mix of olive green and green ochre for the light shades, and dark brown blended with green ochre for the darker areas.
I'm happy with the end result.
