APPLYING GRADUATED COLOUR
A graduated wash fades smoothly from a strong tone to a weak tone.
It is achieved by adding water to your wash little by little as you paint.
Laying the wash
Set up your board at an angle of 30 degrees so that the wash will spread downwards. Mix more paint for the wash than you think you’ll need, and keep some clean water to hand.
“A graduated sky that reaches down to the horizon creates a feeling of wide, open space.”
