Video Transcript

"Okay now we're going to work on the windmill itself. So that's going to be red and yellow. Adding more yellow. Keep adding more yellow until we get what we want. There we go. That's about what I want. Taking some of the paint out of the brush by squeegeeing it off, and then we're going to work the right side of the windmill. Now we're going to go down into the grass area too because the grass is pretty much close to the same color. We're going to add a little bit more yellow in certain areas to give us more information and more interest. Okay. Go down here below the door, go all the way to here, and we've got an edge that we're going to soften up. So we're going to turn the paper. It's small and easy to turn, and just sort of scrub this edge for a while until it softens out, and we're going to scrub this edge too. This is the windmill edge. And from just what's on the brush, which is not much, we're going to work this area here. And we can cover the door because I can tell that we're going to need to go darker but pretty much similar colors underneath it."
