Now, I?m going to do a bunch of grass down here. If I just put it all solid green, it won't be very interesting. So I'm going to do wet and wet with this. Start off with a yellowish - yellow and cobalt together. This is going to be sort of a yellow tone up here. Turned out to be more of a green tone, but we can correct that. Keep it wet by adding color; lots of water. Okay, and it's cobalt blue and yellow. Continuously. But just in different amounts of density and different relative amounts of yellow and blue. Now that's way too much blue. But I can move that around. This all has to be done in one step, because it's wet and wet. Okay. Leave it like that for now. Remove any of the hard edges.
