Next I lightly draw the composition on, keeping the pencil light by erasing excess with kneaded eraser. Then the masking fluid (in yellow ) is used to save the whites for later. This allows me to get liberal with the washes in the background.
I did a wash horizontally across the page with pale cerulean and ultramarine keeping it very wet then into the wash i started adding the colors for the trees in the background first, moving to the foreground, darkening as I go.
After some work on the foreground details, I remove the masking fluid to expose the whites.
I finish up the foreground details, trying to keep the tree and grass details loose and connected by not one, but a variety of greens cools and warms., I also take a moment to touch up some of the whites with tint, and wave and rock details.
