Now as we add the next few layers, we'll start to make them a little more detailed as we progress. So we have our nice loose layer on the background. And we'll start to build up these layers. What I like about building up the layers, and particularly in a series like this, where there's all of the same element, but we want to create different appearances for each one is that we just vary the color and it's a really fun look. So I'm going to start with my carrot on the left here, and I put a little water on my palate to mix my color. And I'm going to take some vermillion hue, dab it in, in a little the hands a yellow and so this time it's much more pigmented of the real vermillion than it was the yellow.

I'm also going to come in here and take a little of this brown here. This is a vandyke Brown. And I'm going to mix that in with our color just so that it's a little more earthy and I can add a little more vermillion to get more of that orange color back. And again, a little more of that yellow if I want that. So there we have a nice kind of a brownish orange. With a sharp point of my brush, I'm going to create another layer, but I'm going to be a little more careful here with the details.

And I'm just going to go over and add some splotches of color. And I'm going to try and stay within the boundaries of this carrot. Now I'm going to stick to the left hand side and create a nice sharp border along the edge to create that profile of our carrot. And then I'm just going to drop in some pigment throughout. Again, I don't want it to look like there's a line except I want the edge of the carrot to be very clear where the carrot ends and a little more pigment on the side. Just like that, and then I'm going to move I'm gonna go to this jump to this carrot over here, you can choose anyone, I just didn't want it to be side by side of the same color.

Taking a little liberties even if that's the way the carrots were picked from the garden, and I'll recreate that procedure where I'm creating that edge. And then I'm just adding pigment. Again, I'm going over some of the spots that were left white, some of that were colored. And ultimately, I just want to create a contrast between the layer that we had already down. So now I have two carrots done. I think I'm gonna stop with this color for these two carrots.

But I do want to go in there and just drop in a little more pigment in areas of this carrot in this first one. So some areas will be highly pigmented with this color and some a little less and I like that contrast and that look And I'll let this layer completely dry.
