Donkey - 2nd Lesson

We used Prussian Blue, Scarlet Lake, Cadmium Yellow and a dot of black to make thin washes for the donkey.  By going over the dark background with just the Prussian and Scarlet again, we were then able to feather off the outline of the donkey into the background while the paint was wet.  This is to ensure a nice furry edge to the donkey.  We don't want him to look as if he is stuck on!

8th Lesson - Adding More Colour, Detail and Tone

Progressing slowly but surely.  The canvas we chose was 50x60 cm and there is a lot of grass.  It's just a matter of covering the white with the same technique and colour scheme, making sure we are slowly coming into focus as we proceed down the canvas.
