Breaking Free

 

"We're soarin', flyin' 

There's not a star in the Heaven

That we can't reach!"

First I painted the background with sap green/olive green mixed with white flake. Then I had to struggle a bit to get the bird right since the beak and the left wing I had painted did not make much impression. I allowed the paint to dry then applied the colors again.

Taming Horses

This painting involved a lot of blending vermillion hue(a shade of red), orange, crimson red and burnt sienna. For the horses I used ivory black + little white and for the shadows I used light grey with patches of viridian hue+burnt sienna+white.
