Bradford Hall Workshop February 12, 2016

Drawing

Wet the background and over the leaves and branch.  Keep the flower dry.  Drop in color mixed from Permanent Rose, Prussian Blue, Lemon Yellow.  I mixed gray (all 3 primaries) and used yellow and rose in places.  The background color is your choice.

Dampen the flower, mix rose with a tiny bit of blue, and paint the flower paying attention to the values (lights and darks).  Mix green (yellow + blue) and paint the leaves, paying attention to the values.  Mix a brown (green and red) and paint the branch.

Use White and Indigo Blue colored pencils.  Use white to add the highlights and blue to slightly darken the shadows.  Work on the flower, leaves, and branch.

Use Pomegranate and Canary Yellow colored pencils.  Use yellow for the leaves and red for the petals.

Continue refining and working on the values with all 4 pencils.  You can also work on the background if needed with colored pencil Add caption
