STEP THREE: Create the Final Painting

I had learned a lot with my quick sketch, so I did a second painting of the same scene using the same colors but with more detail.

I took my time on this one, painting the sky wet-in-wet, allowing it to dry, then adding the mountains and the desert foreground. A bit of clear water spatter was added to the textures of rock and sand, closer to the viewer.

Demonstration: Waterfall

Go with your medium’s strengths, particularly when time is short or weather is threatening. On a recent fishing trip, rain had been falling off and on all day, with more to come. So I dispensed with a great deal of preliminary planning or even elaborate pencil guidelines. I used a simple line to show where the edge of the dam was, and that was enough; I jumped right in with paint.
