"I've got to add some more blues on this side. While it's still wet. And some more violets right here. Just don't put a lot of violet on there. Spread it around. Okay. Now we're going to wet it all the way down to the horizon line. Then we're going to create a combination of phthalo blue and phthalo green. Makes sort of a turquoise. And then we're going to add panes gray to it. We're going to turn it like this and then we're going to put in the background trees while it's wet. So this is going to be basically the trees that are in the distance. And we're going to put them in pretty fast. And it doesn't matter as long as it looks like there's trees back there that's what we're looking for. So we'll just put in very quickly without much precision."
