Preplan where you are going to scratch-through to lower layers and get that under color down FIRST. Also using a deep orange-brown, lay in two areas for sgraffito technque. Using only medium greens and grey-green hues, paint in the trees on the far shore: paler and grayer green in the back and darker greens in the front. I’ll be able to evaluate this much, much better as the painting evolves elsewhere. For now, I know the value is correct, but the chroma (the vividness of the colors) is TOO high. As colors play off of each other, what initially looks correct will need to be adjusted. Wait until close to the end to do finals adjustments on this rocky escarpment. Do not over blend though, the idea is to maintain distinct color units of the rock formation. Using a little bit of OMS on a bristle brush, blot it nearly dry on a paper towel and stroke-blend the colors so that no white of the paper shows through. ProTip:ĭo not overblend! The mottled colors will give the illusion of far distance trees.īegin adding colors for the back hill using medium violet, periwinkle, medium grey, palest flesh and a bit of medium grey. Using the tip of a pointed palette knife or a dull blade, scratch small vertical lines into the area to suggest a few tree trunks. Blend with a stump until no white particles of the paper show through, using verticle strokes to imitate distant trees. Make sure to leave the area where the evergreen trees on the left will eventually be located. Using your pale lavender and pale grey-blue, lay the colors next to each other and on top of each other in random order.
Blend with a stump until no particles of the white paper shows through. I’m going to use a watercolor technique of leaving the white of the paper for the whites of the water.Īpply the sky with a pale blue and blend it out with a few swipes of white oil pastel.
Using a dry-brush technique, create the water with a light olive, a medium-light grey and a medium grey olive, leaving many sparkles of light. Lightly sketch in the rudimentary outlines of the landscape with a pencil.
