NCBG ICP November 2016

Colored pencil on dark.  I start with white and do a value study.

I then cover all the white in canary yellow.  I left things unfinished for demonstration purposes.

I started working on the petals using spanish orange to warm it up along with scarlet lake and cad orange for shadow areas, and white and cream to blend and lighten as needed.  I added true blue to grey the orange in some shadow areas.  I used indigo with scarlet lake on top for the dark areas.  I used all the colors layered and textured for the center of the flower.  I used white to add texture.  On the stem I used indigo to mix with the yellow and make green.  I added red to the green as well and used white on the highlighted side and to make the hairs.
