Two Birds - Study
This 9 x 12" study was a color test for the larger painting - Morning of the Navjote, which is on my main page. I don't usually paint bright like this, but I've written about my love of the blue and orange combo before. I guess turquoise and cerulean against burnt umber, raw sienna, and titanium white is a more accurate description for all of the painters out there:) This time I just made the blue dominant, with a mixture of cad yellow and phthalo blue to create a green to break up the background.
