Colorful Zebras

This painting is called Colorful Zebras. The painting has warm colors for the background and the 3 zebras has cool colors. The background colors are: shades of red, orange, and yellow. The zebras on the left and middle is sky blue color with black stripes and antlers. The one on the right is green color with black stripes and antlers. This painting is bright and loud because the warm colors like red, orange, and yellow collide with cool colors like blue and green. The black stripes and antlers help the zebras stand out with the background. I blended red, orange, and yellow into the background. I outlined the top of the 3 zebras in yellow. I outlined under the zebra's belly, legs, and under the muzzle in red. There is red shadows under the zebra's feet to show that light is not shining there. The 2 blue zebras look angry and the green zebra is happy. This is one of my favorite paintings because of the background colors collide with the zebra's colors and the antlers on the zebras look. It took 4 session because of drawing in the zebras, painting in their stripes, blending the background colors, and repainting the stripes of zebras to make it more intense. I used acrylic paint and felt pen marker. I finished the painting on July 27, 2010.
