So, where are you..?
Hiding amongst my other unfinished paintings..?
No, it's not finished,
but it's not the one I'm looking for.
Let's see...
Ah, there you are.
We had some tough times,
but today is the day.
I'll make something out of you.
And I'll do my best.
There...
Alright,
on the easel.
So, let me secure you.
This side...
And, locking at the top...
Alright,
perfectly secured.
I wonder...
Are you all dry yet?
Let me see.
It seems so.
Alright,
where to begin...
...again?
Maybe...
Maybe I could start by
reworking this greenery area here.
Yes, let's start with green.
Here we go.
A bit of medium...
And let's start with yellow.
Not too much.
A bit of ochre.
And some blue.
Alright.
Here we go.
Just a few touches...
Adding more leaves...
This forest looks
lifeless.
Let's bring life to it.
On the top here.
You don't show enough brown.
Yes.
Alright, so let's add a bit of brown
in this green,
and see the result.
There.
Let's keep it natural
with a bit of
an Autumn mood?
More here.
What kind of tree would that be?
It's going to require more branches.
Maybe twisted branches?
But not with that brush.
So, I'm going to take a bit of white,
add some brown,
and a bit of black as well.
But I'm not going to blend these
too much.
Here we go.
Starting from the trunk, and...
Up.
What do you think?
One more.
This time, starting here
and down to the trunk.
Alright.
Now let's go back to greens.
But I'm going to need a small brush.
So, maybe some...
emerald green.
Just here.
Adding leaves again,
on the top of that tree.
And on the other side.
Something is missing.
But I can't see what it is.
Let's keep going.
Here wo go again.
What's wrong with you?
Maybe...
Maybe blue would make all of this stand out.
Yes, let's try.
A deep and dark blue,
Smalt blue will be perfect.
Here we go.
Let's use a bit of white first...
Adding a bit of medium.
And now, the blue.
Yes.
Much better than the first one.
And now, moment of truth...
Will you reveal yourself
with just the right amount of blue
among these leaves?
Yes, excellent.
Let's keep going.
I want the sky
to live in these trees,
I want it to be part of you.
Does it make sense?
And now, the sky in the back.
And maybe some clouds.
Do we want clouds?
Maybe a few,
here and there.
I will blend this area a bit.
Just blending to soften the clouds.
Yes, much better.
And now, let's go back to greens.
I'm going to need a softer brush.
I'm going to move on
to this part.
This one might be too intense.
How could I soften it?
With a paler green?
But I will have to make this paint.
Yes.
Where is that pigment powder?
So, on the palette and...
Where is that brush?
Yes, gorgeous earthy color.
Yes, it's much better.
Now let me take care of this area,
I've completely overlooked it,
and it's going to be so important
to balance your composition.
And then I will take care
of your main character.
Sitting there, all alone.
Let's choose a fine brush.
Time for pink,
I'm going to finish that dress.
I will add
some shadows, and lights,
but I don't want that pink to be too light.
She's in a dark forest after all.
So...
On the pleat of the dress.
And, a bit of white.
Yes.
On the edge of the fabric...
Good.
And, finally,
there is this pond at the bottom here,
do you think it needs..?
No it is just fine as it is.
So, just a few more strokes
and you'll be perfect.
Right here.
Yes.
One last.
And...
Maybe...
Just a bit of green again.
Right here.
Beautiful.
At last.
