Sorry this picture is bright


Go round the edge with SANDSTONE
 Now over that with CHAMPAGNE dragging the SANDSTONE out 
 Then go over the SANDSTONE again
 Then again go over with CHAMPAGNE 
 Now go over it all with LINEN
 TWICE
 Then with a fine tip attached go round the edge with COCOA
Then over again with LINEN to blend.  
Do this until you are satisfied with the colour.
With SHALE go in the darkest area. (don't forget the bit in between the crown)

 Then with BURGUNDY go over the SHALE, dragging it out
 Now with CARDINAL RED go over the previous 2 colours
Now with RUBY repeating the same technique as before dragging the other colours out
Go over the whole thing with LIPSTICK RED
 Use the same method and colours for the trim of the chair and the rope around the bottom.
 Now using BURNT SIENNA go around the bottom of the chair
 Go over the BURNT SIENNA with COCOA dragging the previous colour out
Now using TAN colour the whole lot.
Using EGYPTIAN BLUE here
Then COBALT BLUE here dragging the EGYPTIAN BLUE out.
Go over it all with ARTIC BLUE (you may need to blend a couple of times)
For the clothes I used GOLD here
Blend with BUTTERCUP leaving a small white area for the highlights or go over it all with IVORY 

 Onto the boots RAW SIENNA around the edges
Go over the RAW SIENNA with NUTMEG dragging the previous colour out 
Go over the whole boot with LIGHT FAWN
Do the same process again but leave out NUTMEG

For the edges of the crown and the 'studs' of the chair i used gel pens
