Now we're on to the final highlights. And I have added touch of white and cadmium to this blue to mix a really light but cooler color, which as you can see I'm now placing on the far distance on the rich of this hillside. These highlights conservatively add a little bit of contrast as you can see, but also at the same time can suggest maybe pieces of dead wood fencing, stones, rocks, or any general debris that's maybe lying around the ground area. And now with the edge of the knife as you can see, I'm just laying in some odd branches here in there. You don't overdo it again, it's just to give that impression that the you can see them through the foliage sitting against the dark areas, the shadow areas, and to add a bit of variety, picking up a touch of that cooler, light blue again, with The edge of the knife, but at the same time remembering not to overdo it.

I'm adding a touch of crimson to that mix to warm it up even further still, so you have a little bit more contrast with this warmer tone. And this adds a little bit more of a spark as it breaks through the foliage. Finishing off there with a few more dabs. And now we're complete. Adding a touch more white now to this mix and tiny spot of cadmium to really warm this do really warm this highlight color, which I'm now going to place against the darks there. Just drag the knife out to the right, and it gives a real strong highlight a really warm, strong highlight against those darks.

Having a touch more white to make it even lighter still, to actually lay over the color that I've just put on as you can see now. Now putting this on and letting it drag over the top of that previous warm color with a little bit of the white. You can see a little portion of the whites showing through there and dragging it out. And now adding just a touch of crimson to warm this color up as I spread it into the middle area. As you can see, spread it broadly left and right. don't over mix it but just let it fall over the top of the color that's underneath and just softening a few of the edges to complete the highlights in this middle area.
