We will assume that since my last painting post you have drawn your image onto your canvas and are now ready to paint. Prepare your paint area, have your paints and brushes set out neatly with your water or turps and a rag. You should sit so that you have access to the canvas and your image as well as your materials. So you have drawn your image onto the canvas and you are ready to begin painting.
Use a flat long bristle brush, a flat short bristle brush, a filbert and a round. Use a little blue paint mixed with turps to begin filling in the dark tones and shadows. Lighten your mix a little then you can fill in the mid tones. You can leave the light tones for now, this is your first wash and it is the beginning of giving depth to you painting you will add layers on top of the wash.
Mix a brown and begin by painting the dark areas of the design, trees, dirt or rocks. Use a large brush and leave edges rough as they would appear in life. Paint the midtones into the trees and mix up a green as well. You do not need to dilute too much for this layer. You may need to allow some layers to dry before continuing.
Remember the light source must be consistent so check your image for all the light tones. Mix your main colour with a little white and add to all the light locations. This process can be repeated until you reach your desired paint effect.
Have fun
