Basic colours are added to the background of the 16 x 20 inch canvas, cobalt blue, hot pink and light pink, the beautiful painting colours are then blended using a 5cm/2inch wide brush, i find this best to blend colours.
Clouds are then added using a medium round brush and orange/yellow paint, as you can see on my art table, I mix the paint on some scrap paper.
The medium brush used to add the bright orange clouds, i also used my fingers to help blend the clouds.

At this point masking is used, I could of done it freehand, but sometimes I like to do something a bit more precisely, so a circle of card is used on the canvas as a mask to create the circle of the moon.
Masking tape is then used to create the lower grass area, you can see the strip of masking tape at the bottom of the image.
The grass is added using a medium round brush again, using a medium sap green colour, using an upward motion.
Flowers are added, first daisy's using white paint, which is allowed to dry then I added spots of yellow in the middle, to give them a daisy look, then red tulips are added, with black stems.
