I started painting this before I attended Johannes class on the weekend (how to select photos) it wasn't until after the class that I realized I had started out with a terrible photo. So I completely rearranged the painting on the fly and learned a lot from the process. Now that I'm a little better prepared, I hope the next one I can choose a better photo.
The main reason behind the painting is to practice mixing greens. I think this is the first painting I've done without using a tube green at all. It was also the first painting that I really tried to focus on the value scale as well as colour.
