Step Six – Final Stage
 

Final Stage

To complete the painting you want to:

1. Add some warmth to the window ledge and surrounding bush.  Achieve this with Alizarin Crimson and Burnt Sienna. You can see the crimson flowers petals and the warm red added to the plant pot on the ledge. It needs to be subtle and not loud.

2. Add some darker shadows and marks to the wall (review finished picture). This will help define the wall and balance the picture.  You want to bring a richer texture to the wall surface.

3. Bring more resolution to the window reflection and blue window surround. 

You want to make sure that the windows were dark, but also showed the light that was reflected from them. You also want to put a shadow on the window shutter nearest the bush.

Complete this stage with a Pro Arte Series 007 number 8 brush. This brush holds a lot of paint and has a very fine point.
