After wetting the paper, I first brushed raw sienna into the sky using sweeping strokes and leaving areas of white.
Then with horizontal strokes put the area that would be the lake into the bottom of the paper.Next I used burnt sienna and I brushed covering some areas of the raw sienna and still left a few areas of white paper in the sunset sky.
Once again I used horizontal strokes to indicate the water, being sure to leave some areas of white paper and raw sienna showing.
Mixing a grey with French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, I swept in some clouds into the sky and the distance shore and an island.
With a slightly darker mix of the grey I brushed it into the water.
Once the paint had dried I lightly indicated where I would place my foreground trees on the shore.
I will post this painting at a later date once some work has been completed on the trees.
