Start Art 5 45 www.painters-online.co.uk STAGE 3 Dry pigment can now be applied. Parallel lines of colour work best. The shadows are all added with ultramarine, including the large tree shadow across the road. The pan tiles are drawn in with the flame red. Reflections in the puddles are created with vertical parallel lines. Fine twigs are added to the trees. Once applied, some of these colours, such as the shadows, can be gently softened into the painting with a damp brush STAGE 4 The concluding stage is to apply some spatter into the tree canopy. Tear some newspaper and protect the areas of the painting where spatter is to be avoided. Use a damp brush and the golden yellow. After a few moments, switch to the blue. This will give you a huge range of greens. If you wish, more spatter can be applied to the hedgerow and foreground bush. Finally, sharpen up some of the edges using your burnt umber coloured pencil
