| Colored pencil on black. My sneaky way to get a value study in (and the best way to work on black) is to start the project with white. I started working on the light areas in light layers building up to the lightest light. |

| Due to this being a demonstration and considering time constraints, I started adding color before I had completed the white. Normally I would finish the white first. I added colors such as terra cotta, scarlet lake, true blue, spanish orange. Black can be used to fix area and adjust the value and color. |

| This is an under painting for a mixed media piece. I am working on student grade hot press paper. I worked wet on dry. I mixed a brown (mixed the 3 primaries leaning it toward red and yellow makes brown) and I mixed a dark (mixed the 3 primaries leaning it toward blue). I have loosely painted the subject. This speeds up the colored pencil process by having a layer of color already present. |
