Bush second wash
In this stage you will work mainly on the bush. Really this is the second wash still, but as applied to the bush in the bottom right quarter of the picture.
Mix a slightly richer set of greens using Windsor Blue and Cadmium yellow (mixed together) and Viridian and Permanent Mauve (mixed together).
As in stage three do add water and pigment to the original mixes as you work. Again do not be bothered about your mixes running together on your palette or on your picture (You want this to happen).
Use a Pro Arte Series007 number 8 brush for this stage.
Do not look for individual leaves or petals; look for darks and lights.
Be careful to work with the drawing, especially around the window.
Enjoy painting in the pots and their shadows on the window ledge.
