After Sam Burley.
Another analogous color scheme. Skilled artists can do a lot with limited palettes. He used lost edges substantially in the BG. It really brings out the scale. The value difference between the trees and sky was even greater than I initially realized. I have to watch myself in overmodeling the darks and having them start reading as lights. I intellectually knew the importance of separating them but this exercise is emphasizing that for me. Also, having abstract shapes pointing towards the focus is a really effective tool. So long as they fit.
