You've used simple and easy ways to create those interesting shapes and edges. Now with the small flat brush, you will get to create a beautiful line of mountains, as well as adding some beautiful shadows into the clouds.

Don't go overboard with this color. Try to blend it very well. And then cleaning up the brush a little bit more lower on the canvas and making some more textures over the lighter clouds. And there you go with this step as well, with the small brush you've concentrated on the middle of the canvas and create a darker patch of mountains. This created a lot of contrast with the white fluffy clouds. Now let's go into the next step. 7. Earthy colors for the ground: In this step with the small flat brush, you will mix together some beautiful oranges and some beautiful green to create a luscious batch of greenery on the bottom of the canvas. Now let's go into the step, adding some beautiful yellow onto the bottom of the plate just over here. Cleaning up the brush nicely with a paper towel. It doesn't have to be very clean.

Just so it is a tiny bit more close to the color of the ground. Just a tiny bit. Grabbing some color just on the bottom of the palette knife and going into the middle and going to the right and the left, creating a beautiful edge. And then varying the angle just with the top side of the palette knife, creating some textures, just dabbing with the edge and scraping a little bit down just a tiny amount to create some textures. As you can see, most of the textures are created on the bottom side. Going on to the right, a little bit more vertical, just so you can create some wonderful lines. You can also go with the other side of the palette knife, grabbing on the edge and creating some more lines. At the top. As you can see, the lines are a little bit sharper and thinner as they go to the middle of the canvas. As you go down, you can start to create them a little bit more freely and thickly. Remember to leave those textures wherever you see a beautiful texture. Leave it showing, Okay, seems like we've grabbed a little bit of white. Let's mix it in quite nicely with the yellow and add it to the middle of the Canvas over the white. Okay, going down with some textures onto the right side and the left. Remembering to leave some of these beautiful textures untouched and giving a little bit of love to the side. And then going and taking some red, mixing it in to create a beautiful yellow, orange, mixing it in thoroughly with some white. Holding the beautiful plate. Just so we can mix it very well. Going at the bottom, scraping some of that color on the left side, and going towards the middle and to the right. As you can see, the yellow hasn't been touched. This is because you don't want to mix those two colors yet. Going and taking some white and mixing it in to this wonderful orangey pink color. And going on top, just over here at the bottom. And trying to mix those two colors together just so it's a little bit more close to the yellow. Beautiful, creating some more textures. Remembering not to over mix on the canvas. So you can still have some beautiful contrast, adding some more yellow at the top of the mixing plate. Cleaning up the lab knife with some paper towel and grabbing some straight up yellow onto the palette knife and into the middle, as you can see, dabbing some beautiful lines. You can also grab some of the color in case it is too much, you can scrape and dab a little bit more of this color just as a highlight. Don't overdo it. Going onto the middle, just creating this beautiful hill. And then onto the right side, creating some more textures. And onto the left, let's add some more and mixing in with a little bit of this orange, scraping a tiny amount of this orange, just so it creates some wonderful transitions with the yellows. And there you go with this step. You've played around with the trusty, rusty but let knife and created some beautiful grass. You can see how easy it is to create interesting textures by just leaving them untouched here and there and having a darker color underneath the textures. Now, let's go into the final step. 9.

Let's clean up this beautiful flat brush onto some paper towels, squeezing all of that orangey paint and grabbing some of this blue on the mixing plates, some white, still has a little bit of yellow. That's good. And going in-between those textures, the paint is still wet so you can grab a tiny bit of that yellow and integrate those blues back into the wonderful ground.

And in the middle of the canvas near the horizon line, adding some more of this wonderful green, blue and some more yellow over top, just so it creates some wonderful textures and colors, grabbing some more of this darker green color and with the corner of the brush, just like for the clouds, create some interesting edges for a tree. Go a little bit more to the right and create a bigger one. And to the left chest over here you can start to see how simple it is to create some distant trees, grabbing some yellow and mixing it over the green to add some highlights onto the threes. Just on the left hand side, going towards the middle of the trees, cleaning up the brush nicely, grabbing some more blue and some red. Mixing it very well to create some shadows onto those trees. Don't worry if it is too dark. Now going back with the green and making those dark shadows appear a tiny bit lighter. Perfect. And there you go with this step as well. You've done it.
