Cheryl Andrews

Artist: Cheryl Andrews

Size: 12 x 12

Medium & Support: Acrylic on Canvas

Paragraph 1 for Picture 1. First I do a basic drawing on Canvas, marking some of the darkest shadows.

Paragraph 2 for Picture 2. I then under paint the whole canvas.

Paragraph 3 for Picture 3. I keep adding more color and some details

Paragraph 4 for Picture 4. This is when I start focusing on adding shadows and highlights.

Paragraph 5 for Picture 5. More highlights, shadows and details.

As for the final painting, I am not totally unhappy with it, as I am still new to this, and don't really have a style yet, or know proper techniques. However I do feel I need to work on the reflection, and the lily feels a little muddy to me.
