This is the additional piece I worked on. This is the photo from last week.
These photos are at the same place. They look different due to lighting and the camera used to take them. I wanted you to see the variation. And this is after I used editing to try and bring them closer together.
I demonstrated this part of the process again for a student who missed the first class.
For the fig - I added Canary Yellow over the entire fig (except on the one highlight) and on the partial fig at the bottom.
For the branch - This has several light layers. I often add color on the bottom layers to add warmth, richness, and to make it more interesting and varied.
1. for this one I used yellow chartreuse and added some of that lightly to areas that looked yellow in the photo.
2. I used warm red (Scarlet lake) and added some lightly to areas that had a reddish tint in the photo.
3. I used a warm brown (Burnt Ochre) and did a light to medium layer over the entire branch.
4. I used a dark brown (Dark Umber) to add dark values.
5. I used White to re-establish the highlights and light areas as needed.
