ANd TIPS

• Use plenty of water and don’t
  overload your brushes.


• I never start a painting when I’m
  moody, because it won’t work.


• Always view your work from a
  distance, side to side. A useful
  trick is to take a cardboard tube;
  close one eye; and view your
  work through the tube ... you
  may be amazed at how this
  can assist your judgement.


• Think before starting. Don’t
  overwork your paintings.
  Know when to stop.


• I love full moonlight. Take
  note of the moon shining on
  things and highlighting them.


• Visit art galleries to
  increase your learning.

12 brush and a Number 4 brush were

used for the trees (and I also used my

Number 10 brush for the distant trees).

STEP FIVE

For the ground I used Light Green,

Yellow and Napthol Red Light.

I remembered to stand back and

critically view the work in progress.

For good results with Red and

Yellow, I work with watery washes

first – being careful not to overload.

FINAL STEP

After finishing the road, I highlighted

the trees and other elements.

Another critical look at the painting

indicated that a Royal Blue wash

(strong in colour) would help to

complete the desired effect. n
