I'm going to start off by mixing a light orange with some cadmium yellow. And have you tissue ready to keep your knife clean, some titanium white, and then adding a touch of crimson into the mix. So move your knife left and right to give it a fairly good mix. Again, wipe on the tissue because we're going to add a little bit more crimson. Now again, you don't need to over mix it taking your damp rag, dip it into the light orange and start to wipe it onto the canvas moving left and right. It doesn't really matter you don't have to do this perfectly.

This is just a matter of covering all that white canvas because it's much easier to work on a tinted surface be much easier to establish all your light areas and your dark areas and it gives a really good foundation. To start building your painting
