I began this macro-still life of the flowers at the front of the school with a simple sketch and then began painting with the lighter colors underneith. A light red with a tint of yellow in order to make the pedals look lively. I incorporated whites to add more highlight and then purples to bring in shadows. I'll be honest in that this wasn't my favorite piece, however through this I learned that black is not the way to go when shadowing and to always start wit be lights first.
