Partial transcription of the video
“Finishing the Background In this lesson, we are going to keep painting our background. and the other elements around our characters. Now I'm going to add some little details for the grass but before, I need to adjust something. As you can see in this area, there's not enough contrast between the pumpkin and the colour of the grass. I'll just add an area around here of a darker shade of this green to improve the contrast. And lastly, I'm going to paint the ferns. In the next lesson, we're going to finish painting our characters.”
