Here is a step by step demo of the progression of how this little work came to be. After the drawing, I pretty much worked from dark to light, saving the whites. No masking fluid on this one, quick loose strokes wherever I could. Colors were mainly Azo yellow, sap green, paynes gray and ultramarine blue. a bit of cad yellow, and winsor green, and whatever brown was dried up in my pallette, probably burnt umber.
