Pepper Portrait Week 4


I started work on the checkerboard squares in today's session. Since I did not have any painter's tape on hand, I decided to free-hand it. It's good to practice this every once in while to keep your eye-hand coordination sharp.

Since I started late in the day, I only finished a few squares. Still, I can already see that the Cadmium Red Hue and Cadmium Red Deep Hue are providing a good contrast to the other colors. When I add the black squares, it will provide a good contrast to the red ones.

All of the colors used thus far are just base from which I will add further glazes. Each subsequent glaze will increase the depth of the colors and subjects.
