These trunks should be over halfway up the sky.ĭon’t let this dry because in the next step the brown will be blending with the next color to create the texture. Allow the trunks to go to almost a point at the top and curve somewhat inwards towards each other. Make sure the edges of the trees are slightly wavy/ uneven. Add just a small amount of water into it to thin it down a bit and allow it to flow when you paint the trunk. Mix about 1 part black to 3 parts brown to make a very dark brown. Load your palette with burnt umber and mars black. Paint larger and thicker water lines on the bottom and smaller and thinner ones in the distance.ĭon’t do too many water lines! You want to keep some areas blank so it doesn’t look “too busy” with too many lines in the water. If the white is showing up as too bright, you can dim it down with a little turquoise. This will create depth in your water when you make the lines smaller in the distance and larger on the bottom. Then paint thinner and more denser horizontal water lines in the distance. Start on the bottom of the water area and paint loose, thick left and right strokes. Use a #8 round brush to paint “water lines”. Mix about 1 part turquoise blue and 1 part titanium white to make the color lighter. This land line does not go as high as the one on the bottom. Paint the land line across the canvas using the straight edge to make sure the bottom edge is straight and horizontal. Mix a lighter green on your palette by mixing about 2 parts unbleached titanium and 2 parts hooker’s green permanent. ![]() Locate the middle of the canvas and then bring the ruler down a little bit so the land in the middle is slightly lower. Then use a t-square ruler or straight edge. This is about 1/4″ high and the top is wavy/ uneven. Then use your #8 round brush to paint a bottom land area. Mix about 3 parts green and 1 part unbleached titanium. Load your palette with the colors: hooker’s green hue permanent and unbleached titanium. Let this dry before going onto the next step. There will also be streaks of some darker color. There should be streaks of lighter white in there that blends with the blues. ![]() The background should be very light with blues and aquas and whites. Keep it “unblended” with streaks of the blues and turquoises all throughout. Paint the entire canvas with these left and right strokes using a variety of the blues and a higher proportion of white. The paint should apply thin because of the layer of water that was applied initially to the canvas. Paint left and right strokes with your brush going all the way across the canvas. Make sure to load it with a little extra white to keep the colors very light. Use your 3/4″ flat wash brush and triple load it into the aqua, blue and white. Load your palette with the colors: light blue permanent, titanium white and bright aqua green. ![]() This will help with the blending of the background and water first layer of this painting. Use a clean wet paint brush or a fine mist sprayer to apply a very thin layer of water to the canvas.
