We had a special treat provided by Ron M. the owner of the local art shop. He 4 wheeled us in to the Oxtongue River Rapids. The morning was misty and heavy overcast.

So, close values, no shadows, not much vibrant colour. The birches and other trees had a certain Group of 7 mystique.
A bit of foreground colour
I set up here. A lot of mist but changing fairly quickly.
A Start
I used a pair of complements, alizarin and viridian (cool greys), and Ultramarine and Orange. The others were deep into it.
John's Perspective
The mist was rising so I had to paint from memory. Keeping the values close with some foreground clarity, I took this back to the studio.

Notice how clear the subject looked in this photo. The mist and light had changed considerably. Less mystery.
