Silent night

study of blue pigments and salt
Experimenting with salt. The effect could be practically nil with a granulating pigment, like cerulean or ultramarine. Indigo and prussian blue produce much better texture (top of the sky). And salt over phthalo blue creates a perfect snowflake effect (the horizon).
I did this a few days ago, but now it feels the right time to post it :)

Thank you, all, for the wishes and for your comments! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday

Church bells would be the best sound for Christmas, Rita! :)

Thank you, Judy, i did it just as a study, but I liked how it turned out.

Joyeux Noël, Lydie!

Like usually, Jane, the less expectations the better the works turns out :) Thank you!

Gracias, Mercedes! Feliz Navidad!

No snow here either, Renate, but I don't miss it, it can stay in the paintings ;) Thank you!

Joyeux Noël, Isabelle!

An interesting combination of blues. Must try that. It worked beautifully. A very appropriate post. A lovely scene.
