I
sketched in a caribou and antlers. We put flames on the end of its
antlers. I painted most of the background dark brown then repainted the
whole background dark brown twice. I cleaned up the antlers with white. I
painted the antlers three times to make it intense. The antlers are a
rusty orange color. It took a long time to paint because I had to paint the
antlers carefully. I painted the caribou's body three times. I painted
the top of the body mainly mustard yellow orange for the lightest shade,
and two wide stripes a little more orange in the yellow. The next
darkest is orange like his face and some on his legs. And the darkest
shadows are red orange. The darkest shadows are under his belly, part of
the legs, parts of his face, under the ear, and the shadow from his
antlers. I painted white first on the highlights, I painted it orange
twice to make bright. I also put a couple of highlights on the caribou
itself. I painted white flames at the end of each antler and then I
repainted white flames twice, then the center yellow orange twice. This
painting is called Chandelier Caribou. The caribou stands out from the
dark background.
