I lightly grid my paper to quarters and draw from my photograph. Even though I slightly abstract and simplify my photographs for my art work-- I want the shapes of my subject matter to be accurately drawn to size. Then I do color experiments -- testing several different color schemes to choose a light to dark value range for the drawing. For this Cyclamen drawing I chose peach (lightest value), napthol red (middle value), dioxazine purple and olive green (darkest value).
Color is so yummy!!!
