Today 's class is about adding all the finer details on the elephant. So we did the tracing of the finer details on another tracing paper and retrace the details on the cloth on top of the elephant, which has been painted in yellow.
The steps are like the first time when tracing the outline of the elephant.
We then start painting the flowers in more details. One technique to use is to give everything a slight shading so the details don't appear too flat.
This is where I got to at the end of the class. As I have to skip the next class I finish off the details in my own time.
This is the brand of gouache our teacher recommends if we don't have the means to obtain the powder and do the grinding and creating the paint.
However, having try this method I would recommend making your own paint if you could, because the colour are definitely more opaque and vibrant.
