Jordan Zebra

11"x14"

I sketched a zebra head with non-typical antlers. I painted the background a light cotton candy pink two times. The antlers are a light green. One of the antlers is darker than the other. I painted the antlers one more time, and then I painted the zebra's stripes a light turquoise and purple. I painted the muzzle neon yellow and the eye and mouth purple, light purple. I repainted light blue on the stripes that are on the neck where the shoulders join. The stripes on the zebra's neck are a little darker blue. The other stripes on the zebra's neck are a light blue. The other stripes are a light purple. The muzzle and the left antler are light neon yellow. The right antler is a lighter green. The eye and mouth is a light orange. The iris is a lighter blue. The pupil is a white dot in the middle. This painting is called Jordan Zebra because of the candy Jordan that looks like Easter. I finished this painting on October 28, 2013. This is a pastel painting because all of the colors have some white in them.

Then I painted the sky purple two times to make it dark. The mountains are baby blue. I painted the mountains baby blue again to make it vibrant. I then painted the foreground blue green. I painted the foreground two times to make it darker. I painted the antlers white two times. I painted flowers petals on the tips of all the antlers. The petals in the purple area are in a light baby blue. In the baby blue area the petals are blue green. In the blue green area the petals are light purple. I finished painting the petals one more time. Then I blotched a white center for the flowers. Then I painted white stars in the sky. In the purple background area the centers of the flowers are yellow. In the blue background area the centers of the flowers are orange. In the blue green background area the center of the flowers are red. This painting is called Starry Night Antlers. This painting was finished on August 9, 2013.
