| Colored pencil on white Stonehenge paper. This is what I had done before class. I used canary yellow on the leaves and stem. I colored them all in yellow, very lightly. I used pomegranate on the flower paying attention to value and texture as shaded. |

| This is how it looked at the end of class. I finished shading the flower and lightened it a little using the poster putty. |

| Colored pencil on toned gray Strathmore paper. This is how it looked before class. I used white for the highlights and black grape for the darks. For this one pay attention to the values, the lights, mediums and darks. |

| This is how it looked after putting in the values. |

| This is how it looked at the end of class. Remember for demonstration and time purposes I worked on the head only. Normal procedure is to work all over building it up as a unit. You can see on the neck how first I added yellow and scarlet lake in light layers. I did quite a few of these layers. Then, I added cadmium orange hue in the mix and continued building layers. Then I used white on the highlights and light areas. I used scarlet lake on the reddish areas. Then I added black grape in the dark areas. I will keep refining as I go with these colors making adjustments to color and value as needed. Towards the end I used white to add the feather texture. On the dark part of the beak I had added some of the yellow and scarlet lake. I then used indigo blue to darken the beak. |
