Now, I'm going to take the same brush that I used to paint in the background area here.
It's still muddy with some of the blacks and greens yellows and reds. And, that's just
fine. Because, I'm going to be applying some purple and I'm going to start painting in
basically this clothing area. I'm going to go for kind of a grayish muddy purple as the
base layer. This is going to be the color we're going to later build off of. I'm going
back to get purple, as it starts to weaken out. Also, liberally apply white. And, do
not forget your medium that you're also going to be using to thin out these colors. Now,
as we apply this there are going to be different shades I want to have. Near the collar region
here, I want this to be darker up in here. So, that means more purple. It also might
mean just a touch of black. Though, not too much or it will come to easily dominate and
muddify your purple. Conversely, down in this region here kind of more the mid section in
the area I want this to be more faded. The emphasis is not on this. You're going to have
lighter shades of purple. These are going to ebon-flow out of each other. If you see
very very stark borders, look to quickly blend it. And, then blending by simply going right
back and forth. See how the colors now blend together and they're a lot less severe. And,
see up here the same thing is happening. Quickly blend it. I don't want to have a lot of super
stark strong colors, not for this first layer that I'm putting down.
