… for a friend’s query… I couldn’t find my light red, so instead toned the canvas (last night) with burnt sienna (red-brown) and a little white mixed in. And this morning painted it very fast, (20 minutes or so,) a view in the beech wood. Notice how because I used a toned ground that there are no flecks of white canvas to distract the eye. The toned ground sort-of joins everything together. So you don’t have to laboriously cover every square millimetre of canvas when you come to make the painting! Hope that explains what I mean.

EPiC!
This really makes the imagination wonder!
These trees are like a forest.
Maybe a wolf and a fairy are nearby.
Beautiful Work!
Good Job!
This was just a demo fro a friend showing how the use of a toned ground is sort-of equivalent to simplifying an image using a PC software program.
