Tammy's Rose ~ Gum Layer 1

For me, the go to color to replicate direct sunshine on an object is Yellow Ochre. It warms the print image overall, as well as sets up the base color for successive colors, in this case, as was the last, that was mostly foliage. That allows for different color options to come depending on how the image is to be interpreted, influenced. The image I have in mind is a warm toned image with the subject displaying the brilliant sunshine that was the condition when photographed.

The highlights of the image, the subject's hair and dress remain right at the edge of zone 7, leaving the reflective brilliance of the sunlight still evident overall. I am printing right to zone 7 for this color layer, keeping the color showing at that tonal range, as golden light. That will be enhanced on the final layer. Following layers will focus on the subject's dress and the background foliage, layered separately using different colors. Some of the yellowish color is the dichromate stain.
