Sertoma CPE May and June 2017

I worked on her neck, chin, and cheek area as well as filled in the hair.  The hair is the next thing that needs refining work.

A value study with cream and white on dark grey mat board. 

After the value study was done I use terra cotta, canary yellow, spanish orange, cadmium orange hue, scarlet lake to add color lightly all over the elephant. Then I use more terra cotta and black to add darks (I tried indigo, dark brown, and then black grape - they did not work well so I switched to black).  I continued to use white to refine and add highlights as well as any of the colors as needed.  I started adding the water (need to finish) with white and a little true blue.  Also added a little true blue to the tusks and mouth.
