Well I’m no expert but the way I paint a blurry BG is to do it wet in wet. Mask anything you don’t want the BG colour, then when the masking is dry, wet the BG and drop in the colours of choice. But if you want trees, mountains or leaves etc. to show up, but fuzzily try to gauge the wetness of the paper and if the paper is not too wet the trees, leaves ,flowers or whatever will blurr slightly but still be a tree or whatever. here is a photo of trees done wet in wet. hope this helps some

Others more qualified will probably be along soon with excellent advice

Good advice.:) My only problem is waiting until the paper is the “right” wetness for trees. :rolleyes:

Michelle, I didn’t use any green, the trees were done wet in wet. after the sky dried I rewet it ( just with clear water) then I used a mixture of burnt sienna ,french ultramarine blue and painted the trees and when that dried rewet again and went over with a mix of yellow ochre and fr, ultra marine blue and that makes a blueish green.
