| Gouache. I wet the background and did an initial pass of green, blue, and yellow and a bit of red/purple. It was on the medium dark side. After it dried I started at the top and added much darker color allowing some from underneath to peak through. This stopped right at the flower and I do need to continue it down getting a bit lighter as I go. I would do the similar with acrylic working a bit faster and/or making sure to keep the paper wet. |

| Gouache. This is an extra value study (left) and local color (right). On the value study I demonstrated doing the value study on the background as well as the subject when you know the background will be dark. |
