Pink Petals

I like playing with light. Here are some of the steps along the way.

 Oil on panel, 6" x 6"

I toned the panel with Cadmium Red and sketched in the petals.

 

I used a bit of mineral spirits on a paper towel to remove the red tone for the lightest highlights.

 

Then began adding the color beginning with the darks...

 

...and working toward the lights.
