Mixing Paints for Oil Painting Sunrise

First off we're going to take our permanent rose color just a little bit here, notice that's not a lot. And take it up here and I've already put some medium already here. And what this is going to do, you're going to see, it going to look at that. Look how much that thins out the color. I'm also going to go up here and add in some white pigment. Because I don't want the permanent rose quite that intense. I want to get more towards a nice pink color. And you're going to see here real quick that we have a nice thin, yet still very intense pink color that we're going to use to apply and start building up the top of our sunrise painting. Now we're going to take our round brush and we're going to start adding in some of our pink colors in here. Very thinly at first, look at that, that's now very pronounced is it. This pink color is very thin, but I'm automatically already picking up where some of this is supposed to go. Sunrise paintings and a lot of white paintings like this are all about starting off with thinner distance colors, and building up the more intense ones. See as we build it up it's starting to become more pronounced. We're starting to replace our charcoal marks with our painting marks. Now after we've established ourselves, it's important to avoid these very severe straight lines. See those guys right there? We don't want those. Those are boring, and they're also not very indicative of how things are in nature. So we go through until these are much more blended.
