Exercise 40 (E40) – Flower PowerEXERCISE: To focus on color use, transitions, edging and working with little to no highlights.
Two (2) Week Exercise!
Last exercise (E39: Sliced Fruit )we focused on isolated highlights and how those can make such an empowering difference in your final result. This week we are flipping it upside down and focusing on creating just as powerful of a result with little to NO highlights. With the Rose Princess Contest in full bloom, this exercise only seems fitting. For this exercise I want you to find your own references of each flower and look at how each has a distinct shape and transition of color from petal to petal. And you can work with a light and sun direction but I would recommend working more with a neutral lit flower and how the colors of each flower be the focus. You can read my other tips for each under the practice sheet but overall focus on gradients, transitioning and edging.
The six flowers to look up are as follows: Pansy, Orchid, Daisy, Chrysanthemum, Rose, and Marigold.
You can choose your own colors for each flower and play with how those colors work with each other and how gradients can add a subtle yet important detail!
