| Acrylic. Local Color. This started by painting areas the local color (the color that they are). I painted the flower petals in the back yellow, the petals in the front a yellow-orange, and the stem and leaves green for the first pass. I let this dry and for the second pass used white for highlights and to lighten areas and added red to the stem. I would use the saem approach for gouache. |

| Gouache. Value study. I mixed a reddish brown and painted the values only with the one color for the first pass. For the second pass I added the color over the value study. For the third pass I started adding highlights and lightening areas with white and using dark colors for the darker values. I would use the same approach for acrylic. |
