I was staying with friends near Fontainebleau this weekend. It was good to get out of hot, busy Paris into the country. On Saturday evening we took the dog for a walk across the fields and did some sketching; the evening light was casting long shadows.

The green I find works best for trees and vegetation in the Faber Castell Polychromos range is Permanent Green Olive no.167, although you should aim for a variety of greens combined with some complimentary colours if possible ; you may notice the violet amongst the trees on the right.

I should have tempered my greens a little, particularly in the middle distance, to give more depth but overall I'm pleased with the outcome :)
