Tips

The painting comprises many colours. These colours have been created by mixing the colours of the set together. A useful tip is to first practise a little with mixing colours on a piece of paper. In this way you can develop your own colours. The example would also become increasingly more your own painting.

Before you start, go through all the stages.

Step 1

Lightly outline the drawing with charcoal. Trace the drawing with thinned acrylic colours. Use yellow ochre and primary cyan for this.

Step 2

Paint the sections using different colours. Make various shades of red by mixing naphthol red medium with primary yellow or burnt umber.

Step 3

Intensify the colours by painting several layers of paint over one another. Paint the yellow section using various shades of yellow by mixing primary yellow with yellow ochre or with naphthol red medium.

Step 4

Accentuate the sections with dark lines. Use burnt umber mixed with primary cyan. Add the details. Intensify the colour of some of the sections even more.
