First, I sketch out the painting. Masking out areas allows me to work without worrying about reserving areas.

I let the masking dry completely.

I paint a soft sky wash.

Winsor & Newton removable masking fluid.

Cobalt Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Manganese Blue
Pthalo Blue
Quinacridone Gold

I paint the leaves in aureolin, then bleed in green and blues. I add a touch of red to dull the brightness.

I can let the paint flow because I've put on masking.

I let this dry completely.

I add shadows in quinacridone gold and bleed in other reflected colors.

I darken behind the bell to make it stand out more.

I gently scrub some of the leaves. When more leaves are layered on top, this will give more depth.

I darken the background and continue working on shadow.

Aureolin
Cobalt Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Manganese Blue
Pthalo Blue
Quinacridone Gold
Quinacridone Red
Quinacridone Gold
Burnt Sienna
Pthalo Green

After removing the masking, I darken all the shadows again.

Behind the building was getting a little dark, so I pull out some paint. I also soften the line of the building.
