| The first and second passes on the girl. I used a warm and cool red (cad red lt and rose), a warm and cool yellow (lemon yellow and raw sienna), and a cool blue (prussian). The colors were light and very wet. I worked upright and wet on dry. I concentrated on getting color on her skin and pulling it out into the background in some areas. I let this dry. The second pass was splattering color to add texture. This photo is not great, it was taken in poor light with my phone (which has a sub par camera). |

| The third and fourth passes. I started the third pass by painting the shadow areas on the girls face using the same colors plus a brown mixed with a red, yellow, and blue and a peach mixed with a red and yellow. Vary the percentages of each color to change the brown or peach you are mixing. The fourth pass was a red made from mixing my warm and cool red. I worked on the fabric on her scarf. Paint fabric by paying attention to the values (and their sometimes subtle gradations) and the hard and soft edges. |

Vary the percentages of each color to change the brown or peach you are mixing. The third pass was on his scarf. I painted the form shadows of the scarf in the back and the plaid pattern on the front. Keep the plaid design simple (unless you love detail). I have more to do, but this will get you started. |
