Now we've done our under painting. And we've chosen the color palette. And we're going to put the canvas next, what brush stroke has here is a variety of different surfaces that you would do a regular painting on everything from Canvas, to linen, to paper, to rock, any kind of surface that will give it a little more texture, make it look more like a real painting, but also it's going to change the color and light slightly different, you know, adjustments here, we'll do that. If you go to Canvas, and I have it at 100. When you look at this up close, you will see that it has all the little sort of bumps and wolven texture of a canvas. If you want to do that if you want to make that less so it's not quite as strong.

A rough Canvas so again, you're gonna have different textures behind all the different colors and the other choices that you've made. You can use paper Use vintage paper, it's going to change a little bit of the shading and the tones of the colors. Again, all of this depends on what the photograph is that you're working on. Whether it's light or dark, but the lighting of the actual photograph is what the colors are in it. It's all going to change depending on the choices you make. And this as I said, is what makes each painting unique.

So you just have so many choices. For me to make blue that's going to bring up more blue in both the foreground and the background. Some things will have very little effect some things will have a much larger effect see that just I hit burlap and it took a lot of the detail away that we had there is wood there's particleboard rock stone, see the texture change in that it looks like the striations of a type of rock. stucco is a little bit smoother. Some of the papers aren't really good like linen can bring out more of the different issues. shades and tones of the colors and make your painting look a little more delicate, a little more detailed.

So again, there are a lot of choices here, recycled paper, folded paper, rich paper, all these things are going to give your painting a little bit of a different look. And a little bit more refinement so that you get something that's even more detailed, or the colors more saturated or the color is more adjusted and more delicate. Whichever one you choose is going to change your painting and make it the painting that you want. Okay, so the next step, we're almost done now is to make the final adjustments, really detailed adjustments. So we'll be doing that in the next lesson.
