In this video, Bill completes his painting called “Mountain Water Runoff.” He adds highlights to the foreground trees and adds more foliage in the foreground.

Key Points To Consider:

• Bill’s canvas is wet
• He thins Cadmium Yellow with Magic White ®
• Remember, thin paint sticks to thick paint
• Notice Bill allows the base color to show through to create form.
• He touches the highlighting color into the base and creates a third value.
• Bill is rushing through this last part because he was out of time. His focus for this project was to teach us how to create churning water.
• If he had more time he would add more colors in the foreground.
• He varies the height of the foreground shrubbery to create interest.
• Bill looks over his painting and decides to add more highlights on the right of the foreground trees.

Happy Painting!
