The miniature meadowlark in this post was painted almost entirely with mixes of yellow and purple. The only exceptions are the green flower stems, the white of the face, and a bit of black in the darkest yellow-purple mix. The color theory learned in the Lori Corbett class mentioned in my December 2017 post, enabled me to create my own color scheme for the meadowlark, flowers, and post. It was so much more satisfying than depending on recommendations from books, magazines, and instructors. I knew my mixes would be harmonious so I was able to relax and have fun with paints. By the way, the meadowlark is only 3" long . . . . tiny! |
