Cold Mountains

Here is a series of mountains, both with cold wintry palettes.  Below was done with Daniel Smith Shadow Violet and Rose of Ultramarine.

Below is a picture in process.  I was experimenting with "blooms" by splashing water droplets on the wet paint.  The unpainted mountains have a distinctly ghost-like feel to them.

I had some extra granulating paint on a my palette and was just messing around and this happened (see below).  It is mix of Daniel Smith Phthalo Turquoise and Mayan Dark Blue.
