I chose to use sepia for this painting as I thought brown tones would lend themselves well to the interior of such a natural environment. The prelimary line drawing has enabled me to create perspective. I then again carefully increased layers of pale washes and allowed them to dry in between. After the paler washes were dry I layered darker tones to highlight the tools, under the workbench, the sides of the shed and parts of the roof. I was careful throughout not to over tint the windows as I was keen to create contrast bewteen the brightness of the windows and the gloomy interior of the shed.
