Wet paper with clean water then paint in a fairly dark wash of Prussian and Cobalt blue adding more water towards the botton. Keep the board tilted at a 20 degree angle so that the paint runs down. Take a piece of kitchen paper and screw into a small area. Dab hard to make a whiter area, dab more lightly as you move down to give a slight shadow you move down with a slight circular movement. |
Mix up blue and Vandyke brown or add madder for a purple tone. Soften the egdes with clean water only on the very edges. Clean the brush regularly |
Add more darks to top of sky if necessary - do this very carefully using as few brush strokes as necessary |
