Hello Everyone! Here is another owl painting. It is 12 by 16 inches, fluid acrylics on cold press watercolor paper. I wanted this one to appear like it is dominated by red even though there isn't really a true "red" present in the painting. Red is a difficult color so there are a lot of yellows, yellow-oranges and reddish browns in this painting. I used four different pigments to complete this painting - burnt sienna, pyrrole red, primary yellow and primary cyan. I find that so long as I have access to any yellow, red and blue, I can complete any painting. Of course a lot of mixing is required but I find if I limit the number of pigments, I get a much stronger illustration or painting in the end.
