Step 2: painting the foreground. it’s important to allow the background to dry completely before painting the foreground. because the trees in the foreground will be painted wet on dry. wet on dry creates hard edged strokes which will contrast nicely with the soft hazy background. the colour green can be a bit of a problem. Add a small amount of green. soften the edges of the trees with a damp brush. drop some brighter green into the yellow ochre trees. dab a darker colour into the trees for shading and molding. add a darker green in a few places. lightly dab with a damp brush to merge the colours. add shadows to the small bushes. blow dry.
