Instead of working with background first, as we would with another opaque medium, we begin with the foreground and middle ground. This allows us to add the sky around these shapes later in the process. And as we add the sky, we define the shapes of the flowers and stems in the foreground.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels.jpg\" alt=\"Painting shapes of flowers with oil pastels\" width=\"800\" height=\"796\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels-768x764.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/blocking-in-shapes-flowers-oil-pastels-302x300.jpg 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Painting in the Sky<\/h2>\n<p>With our basic shapes in place, we next add the first applications of light blue for the sky.

We&#8217;ll do this by focusing on the shapes of <a href=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/Value.html\">light and dark values<\/a> that are observed on the flowers and stems.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll use a dark red, which leans close to brown, to develop the shadows on each flower. For the highlights, we&#8217;ll layer a variety of light reds, pinks, oranges, and red-oranges. Don&#8217;t get overwhelmed with the details. Instead, simplify what you see and concentrate only on the shapes of color and value. The viewer will fill in the details on their own. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/developing-form-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"Developing the form of the flowers by adding lights and darks\" width=\"800\" height=\"443\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/developing-form-flowers.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/developing-form-flowers-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/developing-form-flowers-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/developing-form-flowers-500x277.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll add a bit of warmth to the highlights on each Poppy with a strong, warm yellow.

We&#8217;ll begin at the top of the picture plane with a slightly darker blue. At the bottom of the picture plane, we&#8217;ll use a lighter blue and bring this color up. To ease the transition, we&#8217;ll layer the original blue over the top.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/adding-color-to-the-sky-oil-pastels.jpg\" alt=\"Creating a gradation in the sky\" width=\"800\" height=\"440\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/adding-color-to-the-sky-oil-pastels.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/adding-color-to-the-sky-oil-pastels-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/adding-color-to-the-sky-oil-pastels-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/adding-color-to-the-sky-oil-pastels-500x275.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a variety of lighter yellow-greens, we&#8217;ll add a few more hints of highlight on the pods and a few of the stems.
