Silvery Mountain Whispers

The wispy simple backlit clouds just above the mountains made an inspiring contrast of beautiful, soft grey and lavender colors against the blue-violet & green mountains that were starting to make the colors for our autumn transition. A simple yet breathtaking rendering.

I toned the entire canvas with different shades of blue and grey then using varying amounts of raw umber to obtain the warmth of the closer clouds and radiant violet to create the depth.
