The Touch of the Sun

Title: "The touch of the Sun"

Technique: Oil on canvas

Composition:

The painting is dominated by a sweeping vista of the Dolomites, with the mountains rising majestically in the distance. The mountains are shrouded in a delicate veil of mist, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. As the sun begins to rise, its pink golden rays pierce through the mist, illuminating the peaks and casting long shadows across the valleys.

Color Palette:

I used a warm color palette to evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility

The color palette is soft and muted, with shades of gray, pink, light blue, pink predominating. The mist is rendered in delicate washes of blue pink green and white, creating a sense of haziness and ethereality. The rising sun is fare out of the scene.

Texture:

The texture of the painting is varied, with smooth washes of color for the mist, and trees, bolder brushstrokes for the mountains (In the one titled "The Touch of the Sun" for the mountains, I used a particular technique to highlight the rocky appearance of the mountains, inspired by the Pale di San Martino) and delicate details for the other fare mountains and for the trees.
