The stone: |
Colour page |
For the stone I wanted a bright but dirty colour, a colour too dark would have meant a too little distinction between stone and figure.
|
- I mixed Grey and some Rosy Tan and grounded the stone with it.
|
|
- The shadows are made of three layers, adding more and more black to the basic tint.
|
|
- Afterwards, the stone was brushed with the basic tint once more.
|
|
- For the Highlights, I first added Ivory,
|
|
- then two times more White.
|
|
- To make the stone look really dirty, I then put a glaze
of Prairie Olive (into the depths as moss) and one of Saddle Brown (onto the heights as soil) onto
some parts of the stone.

The Ground: |
Colour page |
- The ground itself is made of Saddle Brown,
|
|
- washed two times with Black
|
|
- and lightened with some White.
|
|
- After that I blackened the edge, since now, no other colour was to get there.
- Near the stones and into the chinks in the ground, a glaze of Prairie Olive was applied.

|
The leaves: |
Colour page |
- The leaves are grounded with a mixture of Yellow, Rosy Tan and a whiff of Black.
|
|
- I washed them with Chocolate Fudge and Black and framed them once more with almost completely Black;
|
|
- then, I added some Yellow and some White to the basic tint, and ready were the Highlights!

Now, don't forget the signature, and... DONE!!! |
