For a second Daisy, I've chosen the daisy that has a tilt to the side and we don't see the center of it, we just see the side view. It's kind of a very graceful image. To start with, I want to mix my color and I'm going to make this one an interesting one, a reddish pink, but with lots of white on the tips and throughout the pedals, so it's kind of a variegated image. So I'm taking my Crimson lake and I'm depositing it and I'm going to take this a little bit of brilliant pink to that and that makes it a little opaque. And then I'll make a second puddle here with a little more intense Crimson lake. So I'll rinse my brush so that I have a little bit of clear water.
And if I wasn't doing this for demonstration, I would use this directly the clear water but I'm just going to use the brilliant pink here to tint it a little bit so you can see the the look I'm trying to achieve Again, and just a few brush holes to tint it, so I'm not concerned about it, altering the image. I'm going to go in there with my number six brush, take some of that tinted color that we have here. And I'm going to treat each pedal individually. And I just want to fill in the center of each pedal leading to the end, but leaving a good gap of dried paper. So if you can see that on the camera, you can see quite a lot of white on the paper and you can see exactly where I'm adding my first layer here to saturate the paper.
It's a little tougher on these smaller pedals because there's not very much showing. So then I'm going to go in with my number one brush, taking the lighter of the two colors that we mixed. And I'm just going to go in there and pull striations up right on the water line that we already made. Again, it's a very subtle look. And it creates our nice first layer. I don't want to go to the tip I just want to go to the center of the flower and I don't want to fill in the center completely either.
By doing this recreating lines that lead the eye up and through each of the pedals I will take a moment to go in the pedals that we only see part of and make sure that that pigment is brought right to the base, just so it adds a little shadow. And when we have it done just like this, I'm going to let it dry.
