Image
  After masking the blossoms, I start with a wash of green on the bottom that I flick pure water into for texture.      While adding cerulean blue to the cherry dryad, I do the same here and add burnt umber and ultramarine blue, dabbing one brush in all paints and making irregular strokes and spatters, adding many but harmonious colours. I like adding paint like this in early stages since it adds both pure colour and blended strokes. I keep the browns to the lower and blues to the upper and outer part.      Onto a thin wash of mostly raw and burnt umber, I add cling film from the kitchen to dry with texture, which creates a kind of branch-y texture I like a lot.  I do more layers with this technique.

When painting mirrored reflections, keep in mind only lit parts are reflected. Reflections can make the pupil appear less than round from afar. - The eyeball is reddish at the inner corner. Some phenotypes have a yellowish eyeball, especially very dark black skinned people. - Eyelashes with heavy black makeup are easier to paint, but I urge you to learn to paint them without first. Lashes are about as long as the eyeball in profile - often men's are longer - and stick out in irregular rows. Don't zoom in too much, that minimizes the risk of too short lashes. Under harsh light, lashes cast a long shadow, especially at the outer corner. ...
