Painting
When you need to make the paints less thick, dilute them with oil. For the same purpose, you can use a solvent.
1. Draw the sky with a mixture of blue and white. Those areas that require blackout, paint over the same group of colors with the addition of soot gas. The amount of dark paint to be added should be smaller than the match head.
2. Draw a water border on the canvas. Work out the light and dark areas in this area.
3. To draw a reflection from the trees, add a drop of Mars brown dark to blue.
4. Go to the tree zone. The main colors for drawing this area will be ocher, carbon black, Mars brown and yellow cadmium. If necessary, add shades of green, in this case the color emerald green was mixed.

5. Apply a dark red speckle on a dry or near-dry layer. In the reflection area of ​​the trees add a few strokes of light ocher.
6. Work on the dark and light areas of the water again, creating smooth transitions. This effect can be achieved by "stretching" one color, moving to a layer of another.
7. Apply a little white and yellow to the foliage. Make thin stripes where it is necessary to emphasize the shadows, adding a dark brown Mars.
8. Draw the ducks.
