Your paint for this project will actually be using one color. It's up to you Which one you choose. Pour some water into a little container. I'm using plastic shot glasses. They are very convenient then at some water color and check on a piece of paper.

Negative Painting Exercise | 1st Assignment: Before we start painting a forest first, I'd like toe explain you. What is the negative painting? Basically, it's a technique in which, instead of painting objects, we always find the background around them. Let's make a simple exercise on a piece of paper. Draw some geometric bigger. That's your object. Now paint the background around it. When the paper is dry, draw a second finger and again find everything but the object. However, first, add a little bit off a fresh color to a solution. This will make the painted layer small, distant. Repeat this action a few more times. Remember to add some more color to the solution. Every time you paint a layer, - that's it. I hope it was fun when you finish, please share a design in the project gallery that your first assignment, see you in the next lesson. 4. Sketch Your Secret Forest: Let's sketch our secret forest.

This time, we paint everything but the thickest re on the first horizontal line. Finish dried again. That's some more color to the pen solution and start the layer number three.
