MATERIALS.

The materials I used to carry out the work were: drawing pencils, block, watercolor, soft cell brushes of different sizes No. 4; 2; 1; 001 and white acrylic.

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE.

My valued spectator friend, lovers of follies and art, from now on I am going to show you how I made the work, therefore, I recommend that you pay close attention to the explanatory images, of this publication.

THE BEGINNING.

The beginning begins with the preliminary exercise sketch from the artist's guide (the horizon line, and something else).

Still in the sketch, I show you the magic line, from where all the vanishing points start to achieve perspective.

Starting from the location of the magic line, I sketch what will later be the trunk of the tree.

We managed to shape an old log. In addition, the perspective is almost entirely traced to be able to continue sketching, the trees present in this landscape.

NOTE CAREFULLY! The lines that start from the vanishing point give the artistic work an effect of distance and approach, what is called perspective.

With the tip of a pencil (that is, the lead) and a blade we managed to remove the dust from the pencil.

We use that carbon powder from the pencil, and with a wet brush we seek to stain the support, to give it a shadow effect, as you can see in the image.

This is how the stain looks.

We begin to apply the watercolors.

Observe how the work is transformed.

Application of yellow and ocher pigments.

BEWARE! Very soft colors are applied first, to make the corrections.

Shader details.

The colors I used in this part, green, yellow, ocher and black obtained from the pencil.

Application of pigments, with the technique called strong water, where the tones that stand out are: yellow, orange, black, green and blue.

My Chinese watercolor.

Details with brush No. 001.

ok, we have in view the block, the watercolor, brushes, the white acrylic and the sunsale of water with glue.

Look carefully at the details, which were made with brushes No. 001; 002, with the colors: ocher, yellow, orange and green. The most important thing is the projection of the shadow of the tree depending on the direction of the sun.

The turtle was drawn after the application of colors, green, black and white.

Here, in this photograph, I am showing you how my painting is turning out.

I present to you the final art, showing the majestic Araguaney, and the turtle enjoying the shade it provides, therefore I titled this work.
