Again in this case, I decide that painting the large background areas first would be smart, as both the ground and the sky involve large wash type effects. To achieve the soft blending of these areas around finished foreground objects would just be too hard. Here you can see I have begun to block in the black in the grill of the car. This I have done in pure black out of the tube. Have you ever heard the ridiculous amateur painting rule: "never use pure black, it dulls a picture" You calling my picture dull?
