After you have completed the initial tasks (previous), you should be ready/confident

to take on the challenge of your own landscape painting.

● Using your ‘prep’ version as a guide (this should have been completed prior to

starting this assignment), collect a sheet of A3 (size) drawing paper and

sketch-out your landscape.

● Refine your sketchy line with a sharper/stronger line and remove all old sketchy

lines so that you are left with a neat clean outline of your work.

● Using water colours, paint your background areas first, and remember to work

in layers.

● Add ‘base’ colours to your work, and then gradually build on these base layers

with tones/shades of colour.

● Using the tip of the paint brush, bring details into your work.
