Step 1 :
So a very
simply cobalt blue sky, using my ¾” wash brush,.
|
Step 2 :
Whilst this was still wet I
changed to my No 8 round brush and in the base line of the sky dropped
in a mix of cobalt blue with a tiny touch of alizarin crimson, this
gives the effect of far distant trees.
|
|
|
Step 3 :
As I came
further forward there is a little slither of yellow ochre underneath
these, again using my ¾” wash brush.
|
Step 4 :
For the big tree in the foreground for a few branches I did a mixture of
raw umber with a tiny touch of cobalt blue using the tip of my no 8
round brush.
|
|
|
Step 5 :
Once this had dried I
dropped in a mix of hookers green and raw umber for the foliage followed
by hookers green and burnt sienna for the darker foliage.
Finally in the tree and still with my no 8 round brush put in some areas
of cobalt blue for the darker bits of foliage.
For the track itself I used a little bit of yellow ochre mixed with the
Charles Evans sand and I just blocked this in with my ¾” wash brush.
|
Step 6 :
The grasses either side were firstly yellow ochre followed by hookers
green and burnt sienna. Again with my ¾” wash brush.
Once the whole painting has dried I used my no 8 round brush to apply a
mixture of cobalt blue, alizarin crimson and burnt sienna to drag some
shadows from the trees across the path. |
