Magnolia Part 2 - Washes

Welcome to part 2 of the Magnolia. The first thing to do when applying your initial wash is to paint over the small area with water. Once dry, you can apply your first colour wash. This helps to define the area because the colour wash finds where the water has been. Naples Yellow and Chinese White in equal proportions makes up your first colour wash. Madder Alizarin makes up the second was. Click on the image to see my colour test. I normally do one of these to try a few methods prior to doing the real thing.

Cheers
