Using a dark mixing of pthalocyanine blue and burnt umber and my 1/2" flat brush I added the texture of bare branches against the sky and over that nasty area to the right of the barn that gave me trouble. I called it done at this point!

In step 3.5 I painted the woods to the right of the barn...but I drew them poorly. I wasn't paying attention and by the time I realized I needed another element in that area the paint was down.

I used a stiff #6 nylon acrylic painting brush and a kleenex and lifted the paint with clear water and daubing.

With a blend of alizarin crimson, burnt umber, cadmium orange, and cobalt blue I quickly plugged a little red building to hide behind the trees. Using some of my sap green mixture I darkened the hill behind the building.

I then added some blue to the same brown mixture I used for the branches and re-painted the trunks and branches over the brand new building.

Accenting around the bottom I added bits of a fence using a warm gray cobalt/umber mix of paint

When I added the far-tree texture most remnants of my lapses in judgement had been obliterated...close enough!

Another one bites the dust. Now that wasn't too bad was it. Not a masterpiece, but a learning experience none-the-less.
