Leisure Painter - UK (2019 - Summer)

Step 4

1 Next I added detail to the cottage using

vermilion mixed with yellow for the pan-tiled

roof then added blue to the mix for the grey

tiles. This same colour was used to denote the

timber framing and some of the windows.

2 To complete the painting shadows were

applied to the foreground, which I decided

to bring into the painting from the left.

I mixed the shadow colour from French

ultramarine blue and French vermilion

and washed this colour over the roadway

with a Round squirrel brush.

3 The shadows on the buildings were added

with the same wash then a stronger version

of the same wash was mixed and applied onto

the shadow sides of the trees and bushes.

Step 3

1 After the paper was completely dry,

I added the foliage surrounding the building.

For the distant trees a mix of vermilion and

ultramarine was used to create violet. This

was applied with the side of a No. 8 Round

nylon brush to create the foliage textures.

2 I continued onto the nearer trees, but

changed the wash to a mixture of yellow

and ultramarine, which was darkened in

places with the addition of vermilion.
