I worked on the middle and the bottom petals. In the middle I scribbled with colors such as terra cotta, dark brown, scarlet lake, indigo, spanish orange, yellow chartreuse and white. I made sure it looked textured using scribbling/scumbling to imply the actual texture of the object. I then worked on the petals. I used white to shape and lighten and correct and soften. I used canary yellow and spanish orange for the color. I used scarlet lake and cadmiun orange plus indigo for the shadows (along with the yellows and white). The petals need a little more work, but they are well on the way. The niddle part is very close. I will make adjustments to the center as needed after I work on the flower and background more. |
