Paint This with Jerry Yarnell

Using seven values of depth by layering with an impressionistic style to create a sky, mountains, pine trees and rocks.

Rocks; defining the shoreline; highlighting trees; blocking in the Turquoise River.

Highlighting the river; river rocks and island peninsula; defining and highlighting background trees and rocks.

Logs and limbs along the shoreline; highlighting rocks, foreground pines and the river; adding final highlights to the water.

Blending in the sky, with a touch of red glow to create atmosphere; blocking in the cliffs.

Highlighting the lighthouse; shoreline rocks; adding pine trees to the shore cliff.

Close up rock formations in a snow scene using a warm color scheme; layering of distant mountains.

Adding highlights to rocks and snow; adding a silver lining to the rocks using a thick orange and white mixture; adding small branches to the foreground and birds to the sky.

Sketching in the steps; blocking in the side walls; formation of the front pilaster; small brush steps make the building look old and worn.

Painting in pots at the top and bottom of the steps; floral vegetation and leaves.

Adding colors to the flower arrangements; white gesso on the steps provides another level of texture; adding cracks to the wall and other surfaces.

Turquoise sky; wooden fence; adding detail to the foreground weeds.

Sketching the bird resting on a stump; light-colored weeds; white and orange flowers; adding light-colored feathers to the breast, head and wings; using a dark color for the eye, beak and dark sections of the feathered area under the wings.
