I have exaggerated the colors, but it is still believable as a landscape. I have applied the paint very thickly so that every stroke shows. I put each stroke down and left it along, not blending or smoothing out anything. I did however as this black and white photo shows try to avoid very many value changes. There is a light and half-light, small amount of dark and a lot of half dark. Too many value changes cause a painting to look choppy. I keep a value chart by my easel and as I mix paint I check it against the chart in order to execute my value study.
