Hidden Valley Snow

It was a fantastic day to be outside doing anything and the bright warm sun on the snow made for some great painting opportunities.  It was about -3 C and very sunny.  In hindsight I should have looked for a scene with shadows on the snow however I did have fun with this.

This painting was done using only cyan, magenta, yellow and white.  I am having fun playing with these colours.  I am finding that I can mix a very broad range of very intense hues from these three.  Instead of fighting to prevent mud I am having to neutralize my mixtures to make them less intense and this is coming from someone who loves intense colour.
