Video Transcript

"Now we're going to use some payne's gray, a transparent version to do, to paint over the red that I've just put down up here. Of course, you want it to dry first. But as you can see, watercolor can be transparent, if you use it that way. And it's covering the red, and we're going to go with some heavier payne's gray over here on top of this red here. So this is the top of the windmill, which is sort of the turret because it turns to order to face the wind. And we're just covering the red with payne's gray. And you'll be able to see through it in certain areas. And that's why we've not just painted it with payne's gray without the red being underneath it. And there's a window type thing on the back, and we're going to use some payne's gray here to accent the inside of this frame."
