| On the green pepper I used white, grass green, dark green, peacock blue, indigo, yellow chartreuse and a little scarlet lake in the dark area. I layered these according to the value I needed. I usually put down darks in the shadows, layer a lighter color over the top and then do the darks again. In the light areas I lightly layer a color, then do white, then the color again. In a white highlight areas I layer the white and press hard at the end. Layering combines the colors and adds richer color. On the yellow pepper I started with canary yellow and did a light shading over the entire pepper. On the left side shadows I layered scarlet lake, canary yellow, white, purple, white, canary yellow. On the right I started with cadmium orange and have not layered color yet. I started working on the top but have a bit more to do value wise. For the red pepper I worked on the top left only. I used crimson red and indigo and a little white. I barely started layering and will do more next class. I plan to use crimson red, pomegranate and scarlet lake as well as white, indigo and possible canary yellow. I will demo more on the peppers next class especially for those who missed class. |
