 | Here, you can see the background hills were easily removed with a corner of a paper towel and some thinner. |
 | I then go back to my palette and work through this again.
This looks much better! |
 | Ok, much better (even though the photo here doesn't really do it justice). It wasn’t "brown" this time, more of a greyish-magenta. |
| I then take some of my Cadmium Red, darkened with a bit of the Cobalt Blue, and muted with a touch of the dark green tree mixture.
I take my large flat and scrub this color in where I see it. This is a great time to point out how difficult this subject really is. Painting those little flowers is not something I was looking forward to. I simply don't have the patience for it! I'll leave that to the realists out there. At this point, I was thankful that I was working on a small 8x10 canvas, and was going to use a knife – that way, I could blame it on my materials! Lol. |  |
 | I thinned out a bit of the raw umber and darkened my tree mixture with it – using the corner of my large flat, I tapped in some indications of the background trees in front of the background hill. |
