| After filling the background with darker color (grass green, scarlet lake, black grape) I burnished it with white. |
 |
| I went over half of the burnished background with indigo (so you can see the difference, I will finish it at some point) and added some green and scarlet lake as needed in some areas. I will either leave this solid or lift/erase some background textures. Have not decided yet. I added darks to the leaves and shadows to the stem. |
 |
| After the white value work I lightly covered the entire face with terra cotta (could use sienna brown as well). I went a little heavier with the terra cotta on the green areas. Then I used dark brown and black grape in the darker areas and peach in the mid tone areas. Then I lightly covered all areas with the peach, even the dark areas. |
 |
| This is the same as above only with no pencils on it and taken in slightly different lighting.. |
 |
| I went back over the darker areas with terra cotta and dark brown and the lighter areas with white. I used peach in the mid areas to help transition from dark to light. I also added a little scarlet lake to some areas on the face. I used indigo blue in the darkest areas. I lightly covered the scarf with scarlet lake going slightly heavier in the green areas. I started to to back over the light areas with the white (did not finish). I used terra cotta, scarlet lake dark brown, and indigo in the hair. |
 |
| Started in class with the white. Will shade the entire piece in white before adding color. |
 |
| Worked on this more to give you an idea of how I will work in the white. Still have some areas to finish, but this will give you a good idea. This has lots of subtle value areas. use your eraser and stik tak as needed while you work. |
