apple tree background -- in progress


I'm working on this landscape painting of our apple orchard. Lately I have been studying background paintings from animated feature films, and I'm trying to capture some of the styles and techniques I see from artists of that genre. Specific influences are from Disney and Studio Ghibli. I may tone down/tweak the colors with a glaze of some sort. Not sure yet. Still need a lot of work on this one...
