| Local Color Gouache. On this one I showed how to use white over a dark area to change it. I then added the red color over the entire area. It now needs yellow/orange and some refining. |

| Value Study Gouache. I added the yellow over this. It will need more red and the highlights strengthened and then some refining. |

| Gouache over a dark texture background. I worked on the body with white getting the first layer on. I will add a few details to 'imply' feathers. A little more yellow might be nice in a few areas. The entire piece needs a few more details and adjustments, but it is close to complete. |

| Gouache on white paper. I started by wetting the background and adding the blue (it was indigo and white). I allowed it to dry. I added yellow to the petal. After it was dry I added darks to the petal (I only did one petal because it's a demo). The darks were a red and a purple color. I added a dark purple to the middle (would do this after finishing the petals if this was not a demo). I then added yellow to the petal over the darks as well as some white in the light areas. I added yellow as a highlight in the middle. I also added red and blue. I then added some of the dark purple back in. I added these colors as 'squiggles' to imply the texture of the middle. |

| White gouache over a dark background I have started adding white, paying attention to the values, over the textured watercolor background. I can leave it as white or add color over it later - my choice. |
