2nd Lesson - Teacups
We started with the background using Cobalt and Permanent Rose. I wanted the background very soft and subtle to avoid competing with the teacups. I then smoothed out any brushmarks with a soft, dry brush. I've started on the shadows on the tablecloth with a purple hue and feathered this off into the background. The purple mix has a tiny bit of Lemon in it to slightly grey it down.
