Begin with the lightest tones and colours and gradually build up to the dark shadow areas.

Use masking fluid to preserve some of the white.

Star with the lightest colours, a range of yellows then adding a strong colour blue before the first layer dries out mixing freely building up depth of colour and indicating a contrast between cool to hot areas.

Practise different brush strokes to show a difference in patterns and objects in the composition.
