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

I let this dry completely.

I paint the sky blue, then let it dry.

Winsor & Newton removable masking fluid.

I start with aureolin, then start bleeding in pthalo green and burnt sienna. I want some very strong darks behind the bridge.

I add a few bright greens in the foreground, as well as the blue sky reflection.

I dash in a little quinacridone red on the azaleas, spritz it with a water sprayer for a misty effect.

I let this dry completely.

I paint some of the deeper reds, letting aureolin & quinacridone gold bleed into the sunlit areas.

I darken behind the building and bridge, as well as the bridge reflection. I let aureolin bleed into the darks for an interesting texture.

I darken under the foreground azalea.

I paint the dark green shutters to give some contrast.

I add more darks, especially quinacridone gold and burnt sienna in the pond. I pull quinacridone gold down in the pond's far end.

I brighten greens with aureolin.
