| First I made a very thinned paint, thinned with matte medium and water. I dampened the canvas and painted the wet paint on the canvas. I added some water near the top to make the effect of light. I added salt when the canvas was wet, but not puddled, to make a texture. After that was dry we mixed a red brown and blocked in the turtle shape. |

| First I mixed a gray color, with 3 primaries leaned towards blue, added white, and painted the background (I made separate piles of the original gray and the lightened gray). I added a bit of the darker gray at the top. I spritzed it with a fine spray of water. After that was dry we used blue (I mixed ultramarine blue and a little pthalo blue). I made the blue darker by adding some black and made it light by adding white (I made separate piles of the lightened and darker color and the blue color). I painted the values on the mountains. |
