Painting 33

Ref 999.- Watercolor .--- "Hello Spring"

This is the final result of this process:  (ref. similar painting)

After draw the composition (made in this case from a painting similar reference)
I applied a lot of masking fluid to reserve whites, basically with a fan brush .- washing the brush out a regular intervals to prevent the fluid from dryingout and clogging the hairs, I did use also a toothpick at the details foreground, and then I prepared pools of color for the initial wet on semiwet spot washes, leaving small áreas of drypaper for the upper sunlit side

Afer wait and allow the first washes to dry, then use the same colors again to reinforce them and continue to build up the painting

 

Remove the masking fluid and erase some of the pencil lines if any, glaze over the more distant object to make it recede into the distance, glaze over some highlights that appear to glaring, because too much pure White looks unnatural in a landscape

 

In the final stage all that is needed is a Little more detail and definition. painting in a small branches using a small brush
