FINISHING TOUCHES
Load the toe of a slightly damp 1/4" angle brush with Payne’s Grey. Shade underneath the basket where it meets the top of the wheel. Shade along the bars on the bike as shown. Shade underneath the sunflower hanging down on the far right and where the flowers meet the basket.
Wrap a baby wipe around your index finger and run through some Payne’s Grey. With your hand on the inside of the surface, run the wipe along the inside edge of the surface.
Brighten any highlights and darken any shadows as needed.
