| I worked on another petal, adding the light gray shadow. I added yellow to the previously painted petal. I added shadows to the brown stem right under the flower. I showed the use of the magic eraser (green leaf on the right side) and the use of a scrubber brush on various stems (always try a soft brush and a paper towel to remove paint before trying the scrubber or the magic eraser as they change the texture of the paper and how it paints). I mixed 2 darks - one leaning green and one leaning a little warmer (a mid dark). I wet the area around the flower and painted the area with the 2 darks allowing background color to show through. I worked a little more on a few of the leaves. |

| I added some shadows to the pears. I need to continue with the shadows and glaze some warm yellows and yellow greens as well as some texture.I added textured shadows to the branch. I added a shadow to a leaf. This needs shadows and details as well as glazed color. |

| Pouring. First I poured a light purple that leaned a little red. After it was dry I masked the rest of the veins/ribs. After that was dry I poured 2 greens, one was very yellow and one was a mid green. After that was dry I poured a bright yellow (mixed my warm and cool yellow). I dried that and started painting the shadows. Two were just green (but varied) and one was green with a red-purple dropped in as well. I will continue with the shadows as they are helpful for defining the cabbage and will help it start to take shade. After the shadows I will either remove the masking and start painting texture, detail, and more shadows OR do one more round of green with a texture and then remove the masking and start painting (I am leaning towards the second option, but either would work). |
