The first thing I did was to gesso the canvas.
After that i toned the canvas with a light layer of Burnt Sienna, to cover up the white on the canvas.

Then i started to outline where the diffrent thing in my pinting would go. Giving each the propper shape and height so that they can be filled in later with the needed colors.

I used the colors Cerulean Blue Hue, Cadmium Red Hue, Titanium White, Franch Ultramarine, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Yellow Ochre, and Permanent Alizarin Crimson to give the first touches to my painting. Mixing the different colors to TRY and achieve the hue I wanted.
Now I started working on my center picture. Instead of
painting the actual letters in the word Cowgirl, I painted the dark places
around each letter. Next I colored in my lady. Not wanting to give her a lot of
detail, sense she is not the main focus of the painting. Then I got my tea pot
a little closer to my desired color.

Finally I completed the painting!!!! I got each item to the
color shade I wanted and the light and dark sides. I also added a few more marbles.
All in all, for a first try, I am very pleased!!!!
