From laying down my base of light yellows I have moved to glazing in orange and red tones. These are beginning to create a sense of depth. Using darker greens I have begun to define the shaggy petal shapes.
My next step will be to develop the shadows and details in both the flower and leaves. Using two different methods- adding more reds and oranges as well as yellows compliment, purple. Doing this will help finish to bringing this flower to life.

My next step, to finish the glass vase and show you the finished product!!! So stay tuned for the final act.
