| I added a glaze to the ear to warm it up. I mixed a very thinned orange brown color and painted it on the dry ear. I started adding shadows with a mixed gray. The gray was made from the same colors as the brown, I just leaned it toward blue. I used warm red, warm yellow and green blue (for me that's Daniel Smith pyrrol scarlet, permanent yellow deep and phthao blue green shade). I also added shadows to shape the nose and started working on the eye and collar. I am working in layers from light to dark. |

| I started adding shadows to the branch to give it form. I also demonstrated adding some darker areas to the background so highlights and a leaf show up (negative painting). Remember - wet the paper far beyond the areas where you will be adding any color to avoid hard lines on the edges. I dampened the pears and added a light wash of green/ After that was dry I dampened the pear and added some red. I added green and brown to the small leaf area working wet on dry and using a mostly dry brush to move the color. |
