Gallery - Landscapes

With all my landscapes I try to capture a mood, a view of a landscape can look very different when the mist rolls in or the snow falls.

When creating a landscape with a mist in I tend to layer subtle washes and build up the image that way. With snow the stark difference between dark and light can be difficult to handle which is why the mid tones provide such an important part. For example the picture with the track leading up to the gate the balance of lights and darks is achieved through the use of shadow on the snow removing the starkness of the white.
