I'm working in pastel this time.
I started with a magenta pastel wash as an under-layer for vibrancy, and used Prussian blue for the blacks on the butterfly as a base color to obtain a rich black.
I moved on to the flowers after testing the black over the Prussian blue (just to be sure I was getting the desired effect), and will save the black as a final touch. Having just finished a scumble layer over the flowers, I will add more detail to the flowers after developing the background.
Today I celebrate Fathers Day, so I will resume working on this piece Monday.
A tidbit I learned this morning. This is the 100 year anniversary of the celebration of Fathers Day.
