Finally, look at the painting as a whole and attempt to fix any problem areas. When satisfied, put in the finished larger areas – define the foreground a bit more, for example, make the final marks, and then finish with the detail.

Notes on Techniques
1 To achieve a better grip for the oils and help drying time, I normally coat my board with a mix of white acrylic primer into which is mixed some plaster of Paris or powdered Polyfilla. Roughly brushed on, this gives an excellent base for the oil painting.
2 To give me that autumnal atmosphere, I first use a base mix of acrylic colours – in this instance a mixture of light red and yellow ochre. I more often than not colour my board or canvas in colours to suit the atmosphere I am seeking, usually with acrylic paint but sometimes with oil paint. It is important to apply the paint thinly to allow the white backing to ‘grin’ through. I allow it to dry before commencing the painting.
3 I am not a great fan of laboured and overworked paintings and, in most of my work, I usually leave some areas undone. I believe that the reason for the painting gets lost the more you work on it. The pleasure of painting for me comes in the initial set up and probably the first two or possibly three stages. From then on, my mind is on the next painting. The pleasure is in the doing – and not the final product!
Step 1
1 Using a small No. 4 flat bristle brush, loosely draw the subject and, with the use of a minimum amount of odourless thinner or turps, block in some of the drawing using the colours you intend to finish with.
2 Add a minimal amount of white to the sky and water areas to offset against the purer dark colours to come. This will give you some idea of your final tones.
TIP Make sure you don’t overpaint or hide the base colour
