Moving on now to the distant Hill, adding a touch more blue to deepen the color. And using the edge of the knife this is, this is the great thing about using the painting knife. It's really easy to define the top edge of that hillside. But what you don't want to do is to make a perfectly straight line. So just by pressing the knife, it's easy. As you can see, just change the shape of it and let some of that sky tone just show through here in there.
And by keeping the edge quite soft, allowing some of that sky tone to show through, see how it just breaks the line. And it just softens the edge and also helps to create a real sense of depth. As you can see now the foreground is really strong, right through to the middle distance to that far Hill, giving a great sense of aerial perspective. I'm adding touch more blue to the mix, just to strengthen the shadow area on the left hand side of the hill here just to tone darker and just giving a little bit more shape and a little bit more character to to that side. Again, not pushing the knife in, but just allowing it to touch and skim really over the surface. And using the top edge of the knife, you can see just to break that line again, I'm adding a touch more blue to that mix and a touch of crimson.
To make it slightly deeper. I've decided just to strengthen the top left hand area of the sky, almost putting in some clouds which is slightly deeper in tone, giving it a bit more character going from the left, over the center and to the right. And again skimming Just over the surface of what is there already without disturbing what's underneath, and by making it slightly deeper in tone on the left hand side here working over lighter on the right, it just adds a little bit more contrast a little bit more drama to the shapes of those clouds there and it really also enhances the lightest area of the clouds by having just a few dark streaks here in there.
