To start work on the greens, I want to mix my color. And I'm going to use my number two brush here. So I'm going to make two little puddles on my palette and I'm going to take some of this deep green, mix it in both. And then on the first one up top here, gonna make some a little bit hands a yellow, and it becomes a kind of a mossy green, little light. And I'll go in there and add a little more of that deep green again, want to have enough pigment here to really work on my entire painting. So we'll start with this one, rinsing my brush, removing some of the water I still want it to be wet.

And this is going to be our subtle layer and I'm going to start in the background here. On my left hand side, and I'm just going to create a wavy line going right down to the Carrot Top. Just like this, I'm not trying to go over the lines we've already put, and I'm not going to really worry about making sure each carrot has their own greens, just the ones up front, really, and I'll go over this. And again, I'm just picking up water on my brush squiggling the line, just shaking it back and forth. bringing it down, I'm following an arc. I'm trying not to do a straight line.

And if I do accidentally do a straight line, I'll just go back in there and add that a little more pigment just to make it a little, a little more looser and curved. And over here, this is where the three carrots combine Not going to really worry about getting this one's greens in the background is going to make a really full ones on the top. And the I will see all the layers we have and just assume it's the one from the background. Again, I'm going to rinse off my brush, remove some of the water and just blend out some of the tops a little here. Give it a chance to move around. Don't want it to look too perfect.

Our carrots are kind of messy and very painterly and I love that look. While this is still damp, I'm going to go in there and take a little more of this deep green. And I'll mix a little bit of the perylene read in with that just a little it'll sharpen this color up. And that's because it's the complimentary color a little bit more. And again, sharp point of my brush. I'll start on the left hand side.

I'm just going to make that squiggly line All the way, if it runs into a wet patch, it'll bleed a little. And I already mentioned I like that effect. The thing is I'm trying to make it a little thicker at the base where it goes right to the carrot. And again, I'm not worrying about getting all the leaves for each carrot making it 100% accurate. Also not making full lines, letting the carrot greens kind of cross over and disappear into one another. And again, if I focus on keeping the base of the carrot of the carrot greens the thickest, it'll taper and look very nice.

Like it's really coming from the carrot. Same thing here with this little cluster. And the same thing, just taking a few for the background here have little dotted lines. I'll go in there but My brush, just wet some of that area that I already put down with the green. Then I'm going to take a little more that deep green mixing on my palate. And I'm going to take a little Prussian blue and mix it in with that.

So now we have a really highly pigmented color. And with my brush again, my number two brush, I think I'm gonna turn this to the side because I'm right handed, just do the opposite. If you're left handed, I'm just going to pull in some deep color right by the edge of the carrot at the top of the carrots. It'll blend in with some of the colors. These are just short strokes for now. I want to create that base without being too dark.

And then I'll go in with a very sharp point, hold the top of my brush and just kind of pull some more of those out. Again, I want Top to be tapered more than the bottom. rinse my brush. Then I'm going to take some of this Van Dyck Brown. Pick up a little of that color we mixed, mix it in with the Van Dyck Brown. And I'm just going to drop a little bit of color right here, where the green and the carrots combined.

And we'll let this layer completely dry.
