Realtime video of painting an underwater kelp forest using the wet on wet technique. -Used a milky mixture Cobalt Turquoise and Cobalt Green for the initial Wash -Added a Prussian Blue to the original mixture make the bottom darker -Added some light rays using the leftover paint in my wash brush, then lifted some paint off using a synthetic brush for added contrast. -While the paper was moist I splattered some Red Brown and Van Dyk Brown (cream consistency) -While the paper was damp I used a needle point brush to make the kelp stalks (Cream consistency sometimes I used van dyk brown, a mix of burnt sienna and ultra marine, or red brown toned down with ultramarine) -Tried making leaves with a No. 8 brush, but I prefer the leaves I got from using a dagger brush. (Cream consistency sometimes I used van dyk brown, a mix of burnt sienna and ultramarine, or red brown toned down with ultramarine) -Scraped with a palette knife, but this step can probably be skipped. -Added some fishes using a creamy mixture of burnt sienna and ultramarine. -When the painting was dry, I splattered some water on the paper, then with buttery paint, I proceeded to draw more kelp stalks and some more fish to makeup the foreground. The colors I used for this piece are: Mijello Cobalt Turquoise Mijello Cobalt Green Mijello Cerulean Blue Mijello Prussian Blue Mijello Ultramarine Blue Light Mijello Burnt Sienna 2 Mijello Red Brown Mijello Van Dyk Brown Brushes: Natural Hair Wash Brush 1.5in 1/2" Synthetic Dagger Brush ( Mine is Escoda Perla) No. 8 Needle Point Brush (Mine is by Neef) No. 2 Brush
