This is my final project for the course, and I hope it will inspire you to create your own artworks filled with life and colour!

Up close you can see the simple textures and brush strokes that make up this scene; layering washes to create something that looks more complex is the key here!

Once you have an idea, don't forget to break it down into the 3 simple layers of background, middle ground and foreground to reduce overwhelm as you paint.

1. Work lightly at first! It's always easier if you plan your artwork out!

Details: This is the fun part and because we layered our colours up the artwork will all come together.
