After pulling out the shapes in the background, I started building layers in the foreground, namely on the flowers and the butterfly. I haven't finished the foreground yet, but you can see the beginnings of small brushstrokes with magentas and blues on the flowers. Generally speaking, you can capture a sense of shadow by the use of violets, which I placed on the left side of the flowers, since the light source is on the right side. The part of the object that faces the light source is more white. Anyway, this is just an update on how the painting is going---I'd recommend looking back at the photos on the past few posts to see the journey it's undergone, and how it's coming along. The artistic process truly is an interesting thing. :)
Until next time!
