Tuesday Morning

Colored pencil on maroon mat board.  I used white, canary yellow, scarlet lake, crimson red, and black so far.  I layered the white first then the yellow and then the red paying attention to values.  After that I added the black and then dotted it with white and added some red as well.

Acrylic.  This is the second layer to make a background for the butterfly.  I wet the canvas panel and added in some greens and yellows.  I used white for the spots, adding them when it was still wet so they would be soft.  I added leaf outlines and stems.  I also splattered white, yellow, and red paint.  I will add the butterfly on top.
