| I worked on this a bit between classes. I lifted and softened a few areas (water and a brush and paper towel). |
 |
| I added some shadows and blue (cobalt) to the background. |
 |
| I worked on this a bit between class. I added red and indigo to the center. Indigo only in the dark areas. I used cobalt and a small brush to add lines for the stamen. I added red dots for the ends of the stamen. I darkened in between 2 petals (bottom left) and a little on the bottom right too. I added a few more shadows to the petals. |
 |
| I darkened around the petals and a little on the yellowish triangles between the petals. I added a leaf and stem but it was too wet and is barely visible anymore. |
 |
| I worked on her between class adding more darks and a few details in the value study stage. |
 |
| I started to add color. The skin is rose, aureolin yellow, and a tiny bit of cobalt. The hair is a mixture of alizarin, burnt sienna, and indigo. I painted it paying attention to shadows - notice the slight value shift from under the hat (darker) to the bottom and back of the hair (a bit lighter). I painter the skin paying attention to slight value shifts and shadows.. I added cobalt to the hat as well as red to the ribbon on the hat. I added red to the beads (to repeat the red in the hat). |
 |
| This is the background for the gorilla. I wet the paper and dropped in yellow and cobalt as well as indigo. I let it flow and splattered, very fun. I also added some salt. I added splatters of red. I was going to do plastic wrap but changed my mind. |
 |
| This is a texture example. I wet the paper, dropped in color, and laid down plastic wrap on the left side. The 'bubbles' in the wrap make the light lines. On the right side I laid down bubble wrap and placed something with some weight to hold it down. |
 |
| Texture painting with rubber cement. I dribbled and brushed rubber cement onto dry paper. Let it dry, wet the paper and dropped in color (yellow). I let it dry and did another layer of rubber cement. Let it dry and wet the paper adding more color (reds blues, yellows). After this was dry I did another layer of rubber cement (this was the layer I demonstrated in class), let dry, and another layer of color. Nest class I will remove the rubber cement. This would work as a background for the gorilla as well. |
