"We're going to put a little gold up in here. And a little gold up in the top, under the overhang of the house. And bring it down with a little bit of a grayed tone. Bring it down further. Then we're going to have to soften out this edge, right here. Scrub this back and forth until we've softened out the edge. OK. That's looking good. OK. There's going to be a hard edge developing there. So I had to hit it again with some water to work that out. OK. Now we're looking for some more gray. So, we're going to put blue plus brown together. That is Burnt Sienna and get a little bit darker grays going. And then we're going to do some blue and brown over here. Not too much blue. This is more of a warm painting. Little bit of blue will work."
