| I started by wetting the top hood of the tractor. I then dropped in a mixed brown, some red, yellow, orange and blue as well. While it was still wet I used watercolor pencils (red, blue, and brown as well as some sand paper. I sanded the watercolor pencil onto the wet area to get the speckled texture (it's called sanding). For the bottom middle I wet the areas, dropped in color, and while it was wet/shiny, but not puddles, I dropped in sea salt to get the texture. Later, after the textured area was dry, I added the dark shadow to the tire to push it back from the tractor body. The front wheel was wet, a dark and some red dropped in - I meant to add salt, oops. |
