It’s been brought to my attention that the written lesson does not have anything about the background! Oops! Here it is:
Background
- Use Grey Green and the circular motion to shade in the V shape along the bottom edge of the shell. Grey Green is almost the same color as the suede mat board, so don’t press too hard, stay on the length of the color core.
- Use Gold Ochre and the circular motion to accent this area.
- Use Olive Green to shade a bit darker on top of the Grey Green.
- Use Olive Green outline hit-and-miss along the top left.
- Use Sky Blue and the circular motion to shade the top right.
- Use Medium Flesh to accent the lower right.
- Use Grey Green and/or Prisma White to soften and blend if needed.
Sorry about that – and a big thanks to the student who brought it to my attention!
