Stanley- Plein Air

1) What is the emotional tone of the image, and how is this accomplished? What are the objects and what is the space?
The emotional tone of my painting is bright and light. The colors of the aspen leaves dominate the painting and make really intensify the composition. i painted a small forest of aspens and the ground brush.

2) Is this a balanced composition? How could this further be improved?
I believe that my painting is balanced. i feel that what would improve my painting is if i made made the trees stand out more and spaced them out better.

3) Is there volume, space, depth, and texture in both your objects and your space?
My painting seems to not have as much depth as I had wanted. I feel like i could have fixed this by blending the dark green and the orange/reds of the aspens. That is how I was trying to indicate the depth, but it didn't really turn out how I wanted. Also, the tree trunks of the aspens didn't have the texture in them that i wanted. A lot of them looked old and had a lot of the black spots where old branches were. I was hard to show this in such a vast amount of area.

4) Have you captured a specific time of day? What time is it?
I feel like i have captured the mid day time. the space that I was painting was covered by the dense aspen leaves. I did paint under the aspen leaves with the light sky blue to show the time.

5) How could you improve this composition? Give at least three examples.
More detail, more attention to the depth, and less paint.
