| After the white I put canary yellow all over the whole piece. Then I started adding orange (pale vermilion mostly, could also use cadmium orange hue). I used terra cotta on the shadows on the orange (could also use burnt ochre or sienna brown). I added more white to the white areas and started adding some fur texture with white. I added more orange to the orange fur areas and also some scarlet lake in some more red-orange areas (could use crimson red). I started adding the black marks and some black to the terra cotta shading. For the nose I had white first, carmine red and then more white shading it lighter near the nostrils. I then added more carmine near the top edge of the nose. For the eye I started with white and then canary yellow. Then I added spanish orange. I then added orange (pale vermilion or cadmium orange hue) around the edge of the eye and a little green and yellow in the middle. I then added the black pupil. I put a shadow with terra cotta (or burnt ochre or sienna brown) on the top part of the eye to create the shadow under the eyebrow. |
