Blend colourstogether

eg. make pink (red + white)

Make sure you have:

*Start with the Background

-Mid-ground

-Foreground

-Horizon Line

Emphasis: Create emphasis by picking a focal point

The single tree is a focal point in many of ‘The Group of Seven’ Paintings

Unity:Create unity by using repetition of...

-Shape: round edges

-Colour: blue & pink in sky, water and rocks

-Texture-smooth rocks, tree trunk, mountains

Use a toothpick to add more detail to foreground

Checklist:-Background(less detail), Mid-ground, Foreground (more detail)

-Emphasis (focal point)-an area that stands out (eg. Tree)

-Unity-A colour used throughout the piece- (eg, orange in the sky, rocks, mountains)

-Neatness and Detail
