So now we're going to start painting our carrots. And I like to do the carrots in a variety of colors and in lots of layers. I think the layers give a nice effect and we're going to try and make a painterly approach. So the first thing I'm going to do is put my base color down. So I'm going to take some water in my palette and some hands a yellow medium, and this is a warm yellow, kind of a little bit of tinge to orange to it. Sometimes I use a deep yellow, as well by another manufacturer.

And so there are different varieties of the same shade really different names based on the manufacturer, but you can find deep yellow if you're trying to replicate this image. And then with one of them, one of those puddles gonna take a little less vermilion hue, just to warm it up even further. And so this is just going to be our base layer. So here I have a number three brush. Going to pick up some of this deeper color for the first layer for this carrot, and I'm just going to go and I'm going to put it in very haphazardly. I'm trying to stay within the lines that we drew of that carrot, and leave a lot of white of the paper exposed.

As I said, this is gonna be one of many layers. So I want to just have start to add pigments to get a lot of depth to this. And then I'm going to jump in, I'm going to go right to the middle carrot, and I'll do the same thing here. Just adding my pigment in spots. Again, leaving lots of the paper exposed. And I'm gonna go to the one on the far end here as well.

So I have a lot of splotches of color here, in the color and the shape are really what's going to make this Painting work, be recognizable as fresh carrots from the garden. I'll take more of that pigment and I'll just go in certain spots and just deposit some color on the ones we've already painted. Just like that vibrance and that contrast. Then we'll rinse my brush, remove some of the water from it. Pick up that lighter color, and I'll do the same thing here. I'll go in on the remaining carrots.

Just add splotches of color. At this point, I'm not really worrying about staying in my borders. If some of my colors cross over into the other carrot. This is totally fine. It's our first layer and it's going to dry very light. It's really a background layer of within the image.

And then while I have my light color here, I'm going to make a nice sharp point with my brush. And I'm just going to create some very, very loose strokes of where I want the greens to eventually go. And so this will be a back layer and under layer, and it will look really nice behind our image. Again, it's a very thick brush very loose. And lastly, it's just so the lines are not so harsh, clean brush, wet water and I removed some of it. I'm just going to go in here and blow out some of these lines.

It'll make it lighter, it'll make it bleed a little further. It gives a very interesting effect. And we'll let this layer completely dry.
