Painting demonstration 3

Well this is the point now where all I need to do is add a little detail, I have the tone set and the mountain more or less looks as I want it to so I need to be very careful not to overdo it.

With this in mind I now work on very small areas a little at a time. To give the grass a little detail I paint in some sharp edges and while that is wet I add some water to it, what that does is give an impression of the blades of grass, I am now working in very small sections so as not to overdo it.

The hardest part here now for me is not what to paint, but what not to. It is so easy to overdo it and the whole work is spoiled. When dry I now add some more shade to the mountain and more detail to the rocks as these are drying I paint a some detail into the stream to try and get the water to 'flow' a little. Last I add some spits and spots of paint as I call them this will give an impression of the stones that are all around.

I am now going to walk away from the finished work and leave well alone. I hope you have enjoyed this painting as much as I have, feel free to do your own version of this painting because that is the only way to get more experience, whatever, I wish you well.
