For Whom the Bell Tolls (and some wood!)
Oil and Enamel Wash
I used a green enamel wash and a brown wash over the trees.
The varnish coat will help the wash to flow over it and will not stain the surface as much.
The enamel wash dries quickly, but I have to wait a bit more for the oil wash to settle.
I then use makeup sponges and q-tips to remove some of the wash.
It’s starting to look like trees, but it’s a bit too dark at the moment.
Bit too dark at the moment.. 
Initial "basecoating" of the groundThe ground was painted with three different inks:
- Transparent sepia ink
- Transparent raw umber ink
- Transparent raw sienna
Inks act a bit like a wash over the sand/pebbles, and they mixed well.
The same painting scheme was used for the base of the huge tower.
