"Okay now we're going to work on the extrusion from the barn, which is going to be little bit lavender-ish violet. We're going to pain the whole extrusion and then we're going to come back and paint another layer on certain parts of it. Okay, now this is dry enough so we're going to paint fence posts a burnt umber. As the fence goes over the little hill into the forest and then comes back. Put about four on each one. And then we're going to get a little gray on the brush and we're going to paint the areas that are shadows underneath the tin roof. So we're going to put down some color and then we're going to soften out the bottom edge with the brush. Don't have to do it very hard, just enough to give it some three D shadow effects."
