Aalaa Yassin - Final Field Trip

I think this is one of my favourite painting of the entire semester.  I'm really happy with the backlighting!

Here is when I finally understood how to paint trees. I kind of like the composition here.

After asking Gary for help, I started to understand trees a little better. I wanted to create this big swoop from a foreground eucalyptus tree and lead the eye along the treeline in the back.

 This was the first painting I did on this field trip. I'm not super stoked; it feels very watery, and not in a good way.

I wanted to use colours to show the distance between the mountains and the way they layered back and forth. I think I could have made the background a little more desaturated, but I really felt like I understood how to paint mountains after this!
