Here in Eastern Canada we usually get our first snow around Nov15.My diorama is depicting the afternoon of Rememberence Day(Nov11) in the 1920's.No frost or snow on the ground but lots of Fall colours.Some grassy areas can still be quite green this time of year but the bushes and brush etc.. will have taken on their Fall coloration by now.Most airports are pretty devoid of trees so I haven't even put any leaves on the ground.
Yellow ochre or oxide air sprayed over medium green gives a nice place to start.I use both acrylics and pastels together to get the effect that I want.
This stuff does not come easy to me and I kind of learn as I go along.Maybe it is my lack of artists training that forces me to reinvent the wheel but then again it also makes it easier to break the rules!
