NCBG Acrylic Feb. & Mar. 2017

Acrylic on black gesso.  I typically start these with white and do a white value study.  Sometimes the white value study looks so good it remains as the painting.  This is a poor photo taken with my phone in poor indoor light.

After the white is complete, I glazed with color.  Then on some areas on the flower I started adding some more white highlights.  I will add highlights, color, details, and shadows as needed in layers.
