okay so let's get to grips with this glowing area here I need to make more
room on my pallet so i really suggest you have a much bigger pallet than this
I'm just squeezing this into the frame here for you for the video and we can
start off with some white yellow a little bit of walnut oil maybe a touch
of yellow ochre right in the center of the glowing area just paint that in add
some more yellow ochre little yellow it'll touch a red tiny touch a red work
outwards from that space Same again the yellow ochre little red little yellow
this was just getting a little darker each time and work outwards from that
area
now we've got a real glowing feel to that whole area I can just take some
white here a bit of yellow reintroduce that their so the lights skimming across the
water and we'll touch that up later this is just a big effect that we're after
right now so now you can switch brushes to the smaller one and put in some of
these trees that are in the distance here that are in this glowing area okay
so for that we're just going to need again just a darker version of that
orange figure out where you want them to go don't forget some interestingly
shaped trunks and branches and then we're going to get a little darker again
you can use burnt sienna for that
so just remember to keep varying the size of your brushstrokes and the angle
your brushstrokes like often say I think about each clump of brush strokes as a
family where I have one big stroke and then a couple of smaller supporting
strokes a couple of babies it's a family just like you have families of big
shapes in the painting or families of trees where you have one big
tree and then smaller trees you have families of brush strokes as well now I
can get darker again but instead of using burnt sienna I'm gonna use red
yellow ochre a little of that violet a little blue the reason for that is that
the burnt sienna is a pretty transparent color so when you're trying to cover the
canvas with it it often leaves little scrape marks
through to the canvas it doesn't cover as well as it could so by using these
opaque colors to mix a color that's like burnt sienna you get a more opaque
covering of the canvas
and as we get down here we can get a little cooler just add some blue into
that cooler and darker so the basic idea is that as we move out from this glowing
center here everything gets a little darker and a little cooler and the final
treat is pulling off the tape I suspect that if you've watched this video all
the way to this point then you're probably going to enjoy that lesson so
let's get started
