Artist's Statement
When I saw the three colours painting project, I felt very excited. I wanted to submit my painting but I was very confused about the subject. Then suddenly the picture of colourful flamingos in the blue water came in my mind. Then I drew this composition and tried to apply colour as many variation as possible.
To get the colour either I mix colour in the palette or in the paper directly. For white colour I used the untouched paper. I really enjoyed doing this painting. I think I will do limited colour painting again.
What I'd Do Differently
- I wish I drew the flamingos little bit upside of the paper then I could draw the reflection in the water.
- This is my first submission. Also this is first time I used very limited palette for painting and learn lot of thing about colour mixing. I also tried glazing.
- I wish I could achieve more brightness but I don't know how.
- I like the wavy effect of the water most.
