Black was added to the scene using a Colorbox Stylus tool.

Use a light touch to your toning. I work from with an outside to inside application with the Stylus tool. Keep the motion to small light taps and work one section at a time.

Simplescapes, Lake Aqua Blue, Frame V

Ranger Industries Sea Shell "Ocean Aqua" was added to the scene using a Colorbox Stylus tool. This color added a tint to the scene giving the surface a depth and richness without darkening the scene too much. The Sea Shells line of inks are shadow stamping inks meaning they're very light in value making them perfect for this purpose.

Add sparkle and highlights to your scene with Milky Gel Rollers. In this case white was used. These highlights added little points of twinkling light to the clouds, trees, rocks, water and reeds.
