Eggs in a bowl

Creating underpainting.

 I think I got a little lost in the checkered tablecloth.

Enhancing darks.

I think one of my eggs isn't oval.  Must see if I can address that. Still trying to figure out how the checks in the tablecloth are going to work.

Adding Color.

Did I tell you I hated checkered tablecloths?

Deepening the Colors.

Maybe I fixed my lopsided egg?

Best of Show

"Denim and Daisies" won Best of Show at the Bellevue Artists Assoc. Silver Palette Show!

My daughter, the model, with the drawing and ribbon.

"Belle" won Second place in the animal category!

Iris

Adding more color.

Making it pop.  Okay that was the caption in the book for this.  Mine is getting lost in the weeds.  The flowers parts are labeled in this demo but I got lost.  I got to where I couldn't tell a "Standard" from the "Style Crest" from the "Fall"!

Saturated with color.

Finally done! I couldn't wait to get this one done.  I got sloppy with keeping the page clean.  It even folded when I put it in the scanner at one point! (Luckily these are for my reference latter) I was a little happier when I burnished in this step that blended things better and after getting a coat of workable fix on it I could add some white highlights. I decided I like the blue iris after all opposed to the purple my eyes wanted it.
