Emboldened by her success painting seals and ice, Chloe now moves on to bisons and sunsets. For this picture, she sketched the bison and land in pencil. She then went to work on the sky, using a square brush to wet the entire area with water. Then starting at the top of her page, she applied a wash of crimson, moving her brush horizontally, and gradually working down. Because the paint was wet and the paper was wet, much of the colour moved on it's own; near the middle and bottom of her sky, she added some yellow and orange as well. Next, she added some purple and blue to the top, thereby deepening the colour to create the feeling of oncoming night. Once satisfied with her sky, she let it dry before applying black to the bison and land. Great job, Chloe!
