Rising Mists: an exercise in using value

Learning to use value to create the illusion of rising mist.

Colours I used in this painting are:

  • Perylene Green
  • Aubergine
  • Thalo Turquoise
  • Indigo
  • Moonglow
  • Manganese blue
  • Hookers green

but any selection of colours that give you a wide range of values can be used. Below is a video outlining the process and a selection of work in progress photos.
