Choose colours raw sienna, ultramarine blue or cobalt, burnt sienna, paynes grey or neutral tint This composition uses wet-in-wet, dry brush techniques and dabbing out with kitchen paper. Don't forget wet-in-wet needs the paper really wet and your paint will be diluted by the water - never paint to the edge of the wet part you will get a strong line. It's recommended to mix up your paint before wetting the paper!
