Autumn Leaves Must Fall

I painted this beautiful scene during the Paint Kingsport! event last year but never posted it because there were a few tweaks I wanted to make to it. I love walks in the parks and this path will take you along the trail that wraps around Duck Island at Warrior’s Path State Park in Kingsport, TN. Hopefully you can feel the gentle breeze and cooler weather beginning to stir up the leaves as your eyes take you back toward the brighter greens in the background. I started out with an imprimatura of Burnt Sienna and followed with layers of color to hold the value and crest the depth and ambiance.
