Underpaint the areas of white water with the white. Mix a quarter dime size quantity of raw sienna, a touch of the cadmium yellow, burnt umber and sap green. Mix thoroughly. Reserve about half of the quantity of paint mixed and mix the rest with a half cap of taltine. Study the subject matter and using a very thin glaze of this colour add it to the white water areas that show this colour. We will be painting this in several layers so don't worry that you need to get it right the first layer. Now the dabs of coloured glaze you have added, blend them into the white while it is still moist.
Let it dry.
Now, while this area is drying we will work on the blue section of the river.
