2nd Fire

Wash color again - Pecan, wipe out then yellow and soften. Yellow Red and soften.

Add Yellow on lightest berries and wipe out in highlighted area

Caps - use Chartreuse plus a little of Cherryls Antique Green Mix for calix. Wipe out on berry where calix will be painted in on next fire. Paint caps and then wipe out a highlight.

When painting leaves think more like a big violet leaf. Be sure and leave highlights! Leaves are painted with Chartreuse and a little of Cherryl's Antique Green mixture. Pull center vein thru leaves and add veins
