Painting Hound TorThe most important decision I made before Istarted this painting was to leave the side of thefirst cottage as unpainted white paper. This helpedto give the illusion of sunlight in the painting. Italso made the cottages look three-dimensional,but I'll tell you more about that in Programme 6.Iwas actually quite surprised how green thispainting turned out, but then it was a very greensubject with nearly all land and only a small areaof sky. When I painted the background hills downtowards the cottages, I made the colour greener topaint down behind the trees. This was really asimple wash that changed colour. It was a warmday and the paint was drying quickly so, naturally,I had to use bags of water!I worked the trees very simply, without muchdetail or fiddling, but Idid add some trunks andbranches with my No. 6 and rigger brushes.Notice how the trunks help with the form of thetrees on the right of the cottages.I worked the foreground very simply, lettingmy dry brush strokes give the impression of roughgrass and rocks. When this was dry, Ishadow on the areas Ipainted ahad left white for the rocks.Right: The distanthedge was painted inwith my No. 6 brush,The large trees were painted with brush stroke I;their trunks with brush stroke K.
