OK lets get and finish it, I mix a decent size wash using Light Red and Cadmium Yellow. I then wet all of the paper including the sky the way I do this without spoiling the painting is to hold the painting over the sink or take it outside, then I pour a glass of clean water over it.

Once the excess water has run off I drop my colour mixture into various parts of the scene. As that settles I add more stronger colour trying to remind myself that it will dry lighter than it looks when it is wet.

When all of this is dry I rub off the remaining masking fluid and add slight shadow to the speckles this is to give an impression of loose stones. The fence now needs a bit of definition, again with a dark mix of the colour I add some shadow. It is time now to let the whole painting dry so that I can give the old house some detail.

Because I have left the house until now I can add highlights without overdoing it. I feel the painting needs leaving now or else it could well get spoiled, it is so easy to 'overpaint' and you finish up with a mess.

The thing to notice here is that I have created a painting that is very rich with colour and depth but because I have painted the house as it is, the eye of the viewer is drawn in towards the center. I am happy with the result so I will say goodbye.
