NCBG Acrylic (November 2015)

The value study.  I mixed a gray using the colors I plan to use on the flower.  I could also mix a gray with black and white.  I could also use a color for the value study.

I glazed the color over the flower part (rose madder quinacridone with a little ultramarine blue) and made a yellow green and a blue green for the green parts of the plant (ultramarine blue and hansa yellow light).

I used titanium white from thick to watered down a bit to add highlights, details, make corrections, and adjust the values.

Used the 3 colors used previously and white to make various reds and greens to further shift the values and to add details.
