 | Going back to my palette and playing with the mixture a bit, I add Cobalt Blue and Naples Yellow Hue until I get a darker green.
If you add more paint, be sure you still have a watery consistency. If you don’t, just dip the corner of your brush in your thinner and keep mixing. |
| Ah, okay – this is much better! Even though some of these photos (like this one) are on the dark or blurry side, you can see the difference.
In an outdoor situation, we would simply look up at our subject and compare things. Of course, here, I have my nifty reference photo. :) |  |
 | Ok, time to move on to the foreground grasses.
While the red poppies seem to dominate the foreground, there is a nice green undertone. I mix my Winsor Lemon with some Cobalt Blue. |
 | After several large swipes with a 1 inch bristle brush, I can’t believe the mess I've made!
This is definitely NOT the green I wanted. It is a nice blue, almost prussian, but not what I need. Don’t worry – this is why we work with washes first, so we can fight the "color battles" early on, when they are easily correctable. |
 | I dipped a corner of a wadded up paper towel in my thinner and scrubbed it off. |
