I'm now going to reestablish the shadow area in the bushes on the top of the hillside ridge. So mixing a deeper violet with some ultramarine, blue and crimson, and just redefining the overall shape of these bushes here. Again, don't be too concerned about the actual shape because we're going to work mid tones over the top of this. It's just really to enhance the shadow of the darkest darks as we call it into this area. If a touch of the dark overlaps, just smudge it with your finger and blend it in, we've now completed this stage where the sky is now in with some clouds, and also we've got this distant Hill. Now the important thing to remember is that once you've got the sky complete, which is the most distant part of the picture, you start working gradually forward until we're right down into the foreground.

Now we're going to move on to stage three and introducing The sunlight where it falls on this hillside.
