Continuing on Now further down into the foreground, making a stronger green, more Cadmium Yellow, a touch of ultramarine blue, giving us a really nice green more, going more now to an olive green and adding a touch of white, keeping it fairly light, not too dark at this stage, the game just laying the knife there, not pressing too hard, and letting the color fall off the knife, allowing that also bearing in mind allowing the under painting to show through here and there. You don't want to obliterate all those darks and you can also see the texture of the paint from the knife, adding touch more white and warming this green now by adding a touch of crimson to bring some more warmth into the foreground. And you see again how broadly I'm putting that on with the knife and you could also use the tip of your finger just to smooth the edges here and there.

It really adds a variety of texture, certainly to the edges of the paint where you've got the contrast of the strong color against those darks and adding a real sense of depth to the picture. Having a search more crimson now to this green mix and cadmium yellow, making it stronger, and also warmer, bringing it right down into the foreground. And you see I'm overlapping some of the color here and the tip of the knife. Here I'm adding some Crimson to this neutral tone. And going to use this as a little bit of a contrast a cool contrast along the top edge of that ridge here and what this does is just breaks up that area. And so dragging it over the lighter green.

You can see it really helps to break up just some of that distant area. Again, it's adding more character at texture and also complements the light green. Now running the knife just through that to soften the edge and just take a little bit of the strength out of it. Also running some of that tone along the top of the ridge there and smoothing it out, left and right
