Ok, the next part is going to be the pot. And, I am going to paint a more of an ornamental rounded pot than the pot in that photograph. So, I need to do yellow ocher. But, before I do that, I am going to need to get the clean water and do a wet and wet for the whole operation. Laying down water. And then, with the yellow ocher. We are going to start in the darkest areas. When you first put your brush down, it is going to have more paint on it. So, that is when you hit the darkest areas and then you work towards the lightest areas. To get to the point where you need to get, take water out of the brush. Stick your brush in about an eighth of an inch. Wipe it out. And then, continue to do that. Just take more color out and this side is going to be shinier. And now, while it is wet and wet I am going to start working in more color. First off, I am going to work in burnt sienna, I mean, burnt umber. That gives it sort of an aged look.
