    Video Transcript

    "OK, now we're going to put in the deeper Phthalo green. To make it look like sort of a velvet look. Now we're going to mix the Phthalo green with some burnt umber to darken it. Put in the darker areas. Keep working those. Put some dots and dabs in the hair to make it look like the hair is covering up some of it. Work the edge here a little bit more. And then what we need is a clean dry brush at this point."
