Establishing the Underpainting
After reviewing her list of watercolor materials, drawing the candy wrapper shape and applying masking fluid, Soon sets to work to establish the underpainting by covering the surface with water and then painting the entire paper with yellow and blue watercolor.
Developing Local Color
Watch as Soon introduces red into her painting to mingle with her yellows and blues already established on the composition, creating pops of colorful reflections in the candy wrapper.
Deepening the Values
Soon starts to bring the silver subject into focus by deepening the values and painting rich, dark colors that add mesmerizing depth and dimension to the composition.
Adding the Final Touches
To finish off the painting, Soon reflects the dark background into the colors of the candy wrapper, adding in the final touches and bringing it all together to complete the riveting painting.
