I've been standing at the end of our drive painting this scene, trying to create a sort of stormy feel. The only problem being that it's been fairly sunny here so getting the colours right is mainly from memory. I wanted to capture the temperament of the Breton landscape in rain swept conditions.

I've used a warm grey and titanium white for the sky and raw umber, raw sienna and terre vert for the trees.
