My New Style


So i decided to paint a picture for my boyfriend of a beautiful place we go walking on quite often. He really liked it... i hope! 

The trick is building up layers... starting with putting ideas of colours down and slowly adding different shades. I try to focus on warm colours and cool colours separately. 











 Now i start doing finer strokes with my brush to create contrast. I find white the most useful colour when painting water scenes as it highlights any given colour to create a shinier effect. If you look in the water above, there is no white and it looks rather dull, the image below however has white highlights creating a more vibrant effect.
