| 1. Start with Canary Yellow first using light pressure and the side of the pencil lead. Cover the leaf and the shadow areas. |
 |
| 2. Pomegranate next using light pressure and the side of the pencil lead. Cover the parts of the leaf that will be brown as well as the shadow areas. |
 |
| 3. Indigo Blue last using light pressure and the side of the pencil lead. Cover the areas that will be green and the darker parts of the shadow areas. |
 |
| 4. Using all 3 colors, still light pressure and the side of the pencil, add more color as well as darks. |
 |
| 5. Using all 3 colors (especially yellow), add more layers using the side of the pencil, but with heavier pressure. This will begin to mix the colors and cover the paper. |
 |
| 6. Using All 3 colors and the white pencil - darken, refine, and blend the colors. Continue adding details, and values (lights and darks). This will require heavier pressure and at times the point of the pencil. |
 |
| Finished leaf (or mostly finished...) after a bit of refining and detailing with all 4 colors. This requires heavy pressure, burnishing, and sometimes the point of the pencil. |

| Leaf from class demonstration. It is of course not complete. |
