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
