Sonoma Vineyard

	First, I sketch out the painting. Masking out areas allows me to work without worrying about reserving areas.
	I dash aureolin around the painting, leaving plenty of white space. I paint the sky very subtlely, barely defining clouds. I let this dry completely.
	I darken the sky slightly. I darken the trees and some of the foreground vines.
	I paint the vines in the distance. I continue adding to the foreground vines, letting my brush dance around the paper. I let this dry completely.
	After it's dry, I remove the masking. I add some bright yellows and quinacridone reds to contrast with the bright greens. I darken the shadows under the vines.
	I add finishing details, darkening the background to increase the sense of distance.
