Good morning again. This is Sue Rose with Expert Village. We are going to get started applying our details to our watercolor sunset. Before that, this is a tip that I showed you before that I save my original paintings because it's gotten darker and I need to know exactly where my things are. I'm going to lightly sketch in the placement here or my sunset. Now, the next step that we will do is I will take my smaller brush, which is the size 10 brush to begin the details. I will take my number 10 brush and I will mix the blue and the red together. It gives a nice dark color, almost a purple. It gets darker depending up on the blue that you add to it. I'm going to start now. You can see here I've begun on this one to roughly sketch in. You can see on this that I have begun to roughly sketch in the details of this using the combined red and blue that we started out with. I'm going to begin here by starting with the land and going across as I say you were from one area to the other horizontally across your paper. I'm having to kind of wing this a little bit because I lost some of my drawing. I see I have a building right here with this lighthouse tower in the back. I'll just roughly sketch this in. I go over here to a smaller building and then this larger building beside it. These will be what I'm putting into my painting. Once again, mixing the red and the blue. So I have finished the details of at least the ground in this painting, so be sure and watch the next segment on how to finish up the details with doing your lighthouse and your houses.
