covered the whole canvas; I then
go back into areas and tidy up and
adjust. I work from top to bottom.
STEP SIX
I readjusted some shapes such as the
yellow tractor on the right and some
perspective to the left of the painting.
At this stage of the painting I need to
keep the painting clean and fresh and
not make mud (sometimes very hard
to do), the best way I have found to
OPUNBLFNVEJTQSFNJYZPVSDPMPVST
make at least three tones of one colour,
keeping a brush for your lights, one for
the mid tones and one for the darks.

it each time you finish applying paint.
It is possible to work wet in wet, you
need to work with a very gentle hand,
don’t scrub the paint on, lay the paint
on with the back of the brush not the
tip and make sure you have lots of
paint on your palette and load up the
brush or palette knife. Don’t FIDDLE.
Make each brush mark count, and if it
is not right wipe it off and start again;
don’t try to paint over a mistake.
FINAL STEP
This is also a favourite time of the
painting when there is a lot more
looking than putting.
Lots of adjusting putting
in tree branches by walking
the edge of the palette knife
or the chisel of a brush, lots of
thick buttery paint in the foreground

draw the eye forward. Looking at
the painting through a mirror will
also help me see if the painting is
balanced and the tones are correct,
knowing when to stop is the hardest
part, so stop a lot when you are
nearing the end of your painting so
you don’t over work it. Ask yourself
lots of questions. Have I
achieved a scence of depth? Are
there enough hard and soft
edges? Have I achieved a
balanced centre of interest? Do

painting is finished when you can
say yes to these questions.My motto: I aspire and desire
to inspire before I expire.
