| I added "sky holes" and worked on adding darks and lights to the palm fronds as well as color. I am continuing to shape the fronds as well. I worked on the trunk adding darks and lights as well as color and texture. |

| This is the under drawing. First I shaded the piece with watercolor pencils (I used Derwent Inktense). I used a red, yellow, blue, and green. Then I wet the areas I had shaded. While it was wet I sanded the piece with watercolor pencils and sand paper and a strainer. |

| After it was dry I started working with Prismacolor colored pencils. I started with white and added the highlights. I then worked on an eye, the nose and the mouth. I will work on the other eye, the ear and face next class especially for those who missed class. I will work on fabric and hair as well. So far I have used white, peach, light peach, terra cotta, dark brown, indigo, cadmium orange, scarlet lake as well as peacock green in the background. I will add other colors as needed. |
