The bricks are a mixed of cad red, burnt sienna, burnt umber and the odd touch of raw sienna. They are mostly done wet in wet with final touches of dry brush for the darkest tones and underlined with blended black to give them a bit more depth. Something else for you to experiment on - lol.Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-49431067756603473332017-01-05T05:16:02.654-08:002017-01-05T05:16:02.654-08:00You have inspired me Val, we have an old mill from...You have inspired me Val, we have an old mill from the Civil War times that is in ruin and I have several pictures in through the stone wall windows.

I was afraid that the soft landscape was too soft against the hardness of the brick but I think I like the contrast.Mellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-84855673751940560392017-01-04T22:05:27.703-08:002017-01-04T22:05:27.703-08:00Thanks Joan - glad you like itThanks Joan - glad you like itMellowood Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204405235754555730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-27989780247053054402017-01-04T21:40:22.197-08:002017-01-04T21:40:22.197-08:00Awesome job, and a great premise!
