Cool water can be a little touch a warm CAD VMs wash off right away failover does not wash off because it's staining color. So I didn't like the thickness of the red, so I gave it a little wash. This is how I did I just put it right under there. Took the brush to stop it, and the cadmium just washed right off. You see the lizard is staying in there. Even up here it's a little bit pasty.
If I just put it No, I want to create a cloud because this is 100 and 40 pound paper and just rub it gently, very gently, and I can almost get back to the white paper. Now these marks here are great. This is an English technique used by the English watercolor painters. And this is how they lightened things. The cabinets are wonderful, because they wash off. See that big later cadmium there?
Rob, it's gone. But I want to leave it here. So now I'm looking at my picture and then seeing how I can gently rub off a bit of the paint to create an effect. Can I'm just going to turn the water off and there you are. Will reintroduce some color to it. So I can put the paint on a little thicker now.
Simply because papers a little damper will disperse the paint. So that's a fairly thick cadmium that's dispersing through the picture. Now we've cleaned the brush, take a little bit of the Cadmium Red Not that it's really wet, more, a little bit like cream like touching it to a rag. And now let's put a little bit of that on. You see, it's fairly transparent. It's just barely spreading.
I'm going to try it a little bit thicker. Now this is almost right from the tube and put it at the bottom here. And that's as thick as you would want it to leave that little white spot there. And you might clean your brush off. So you see that's fully saturated. You couldn't put a wash over this because the cadmium sit on top.
So we usually leave the really strong cadmium Color accents until the end of the picture. I like that so might take a little bit and just tap it since it's wet. blend the two cat boobs together and look at the orange that I get. But probably that orange down here slowly making the picture do its magic. I really like this coming in here so might lift that off again See that? I like this line here.
It's better. So you start looking at things and you start to see things if you don't like it, the papers damn You can take it off. It's fairly thick. Take a little picture the red. just pat it in. You want to add a rough edge.
Here's the side of the brush. Now the green is going to be a little bit of film with the yellow. Now you can see that the green and the red color complement each other, they make each other stand out. I'm going to soften the edge here, go around my post a little bit, which I'll darken later. Just kind of rub that out the next red there. Now I might want to intensify that simply by adding a little more yellow.
See I can get a stronger green. Remember the colors change as they dry. So the blue and the orange, the red and the green. Great color combinations. Painting sort of tells you what to do after a while. I think I'm going to go with a little darker blue here.
Just to set that tree off, and it could be a mountain behind here or just a dark blue spot. See, and then I see it over here and I want to do the same thing here. See, put a little blue in. Let's just fade it out. Adjusting values. values are the darkness and the lightness color.
What's beautiful is blue triangular motions here. See I'm just gently touching the paint in. Just sweeping it in. Maybe there's a little Sky peeking through the trees here. This is nice here I think I'll just leave it. So we'll make this tree look closer by darkening the red.
And we have a big one, medium one little one, maybe a pinch of red in here. See just just adding little bits here and there. Maybe a little more yellow. up in here. Strong, yellow. Great adjacent colors, which would be the yellow to green to yellow, green, blue and opposite or complementary colors.
Red and green, orange and blue. Violet over here. Just Just something tasty that set the other ones off. Here's where the cobalt is great in the violence sections. Put it on an empty the brush. Just using little strokes.
Clean the brush off. soften the edge. The last thing you can do is take a look had me a little bit of this fellow. If you want a brown post, just darker a few of the posts. even take a pencil and draw these just suggesting tree forms. couple of little things in the field.
There you go. Little cobalt, Halo and a little bit of boldness. I think that adds a little bit to the sky. Some darks are in there. There we go to adjusting all over the place a little darker here, a little more red here, just playing with it and having a good time. Now that you've established a great color scheme
