Old barn door PM demo

PM reference shot

Draw with simple clean lines

Mask foreground goldenrod and light grasses.

Start with grey wash. Make sure you mix enough color for whole wall, if not no worries if the color varies. You can then splatter and/or add some darker tones while it is wet. It adds more interest. Then begin with yellow ochre wash on bottom reeds.

Next I added greens.

Then I began o add color to the door.

Now comes a little detail around the door. I just love the pattern of the rotting wood.

After adding a second layer of maskon the grasses and leaves, it's time to put in a darker layer of color.

I then continued with the door details and began to add some knots of wood and the fun little diamond hole in the wall.
