Painting Directions
You may use up to 6 base hues (plus black and white) max. Any additional colors will need to be mixed by yourself.
Painting Your Disco Ball
Use your value reference sheet (black & white disco balls) to help with light and shadow.
Use the Sari Shryack painting references for color inspiration and to see how highlights and reflections work (attached above)

Clear value changes
3D effect by using light and dark tones correctly
