These are a Few of My Favorite Things!

Secret Ingredients, and how to use them!

mixed with some white and a bit of is used to sketch and block in some shapes and tone the background.


A brighter tone mixed with orange?


Or a very thin tone with less pigment, knowing it will be toned to blues and greens?
