STAGE 3
INITIAL WASH -
MIDDLE GROUND
This stage is really a continuation
of the last step; I gradually increase
the consistency of paint and make
a warmer green by adding a touch
of Australian red gold. It’s a very
dominating colour and must
be used sparingly and in small
amounts. An alternate to this
would be quinacridone gold. But
I find this an essential colour for
depicting Australian landscapes
which consists of warmer greens.
I cut around the roads and roofs of
buildings
Basically, this is a graded wash.
If you get the tones and the
temperature of this wash right,
it will create the effect of aerial
perspective.
STAGE 4 INITIAL WASH - FOREGROUND
This step is still the continuation of the same wash. As I come down near the foreground I use the same combination of colours, only reducing the
water consistency and increasing the paint pigments. However the ratio of the paint is slightly changed by adding a little more of the Australia red
gold to make this area warmer and tonally slightly darker. I paint carefully to leave the white paper for the road, pond and the foreground building.
