These classes are about mixing the right colours to get what I want for the painting as the base. It is a solid paint for the sky, trees and the tree barks. Just a note at this stage it is advisable to use a larger sable brush rather than the delicate squirrel miniature brush to fill in the colours.
Here are the steps;
1. starting with the sky I had to mix an unusual blue, which was different to the one on the painting, but i quite like it at the end. I also used indigo with a dry brushed method to create the breezy look of the sky.
2. The next thing to do are the trees, and my teacher suggested that I do a range of greens to add the variations, quite amazing how a couple of yellow and blues and greens can come up with such a variety of greens.
3. The next step was to attempt the tree bark that was filled with a variation of browns, using the based colours.
4. Here is the rough basis for the painting done.
