Work in Progress: Island Beauty - White Plumeria (Continued)

Here's how it looks after another day's work -- most of the leaves are done, with rich greens created by floating transparent tube greens such as Sap Green and Hooker's Green on top of a very colorful underpainting of reds, blues and browns. I've also added another layer of shadow mixed from three transparent primaries -- Permanent Rose, Cobalt Blue and Aureolin Yellow -- on flower pedals, trying hard to make it still light, comparable to the lighter areas on leaves. I used my red acetate to check value scales often. It's getting close to be done, and I'm crossing my fingers...

  1. Arena, those leaves are superb. The underpainting worked so well.
